Vets Groups Oppose Asbestos Industry Agenda

More than 90 veterans’ organizations across 11 states have expressed their strong opposition to these proposals, which would deny justice to sick and dying vets. And 16 of the biggest national veterans’ groups, including the Military Officers Association of America, Vietnam Veterans of America and Military Order of the Purple Heart, successfully defeated similar legislation in Congress.
