“I appreciate the Virginia Department of Veterans Services for joining my next telephone town hall to share their insights and expertise with Veterans, servicemembers, and military families from across the Seventh District. Every opportunity I have to join with these advocates and hear directly from Virginia’s Veterans and their families helps me better advocate on their behalf in Congress,” said Spanberger. “I hope many of those who have served our country in uniform — or continue to serve our country in uniform — will dial in to contribute to our conversation, and I encourage all Virginians with questions about backlogged VA claims, Honoring Our PACT Act benefits, and concerns for the health and safety of our bravest neighbors to attend Monday night’s event.”
