Nice Web site... including this: The American Legion Lauds President's Request for Increased VA Appropriations WASHINGTON, DC - The National Commander of The American Legion finds reason for optimism in President Barack Obama's request for increased funding of the Department of Veterans Affairs. The President released his fiscal year 2010 budget request executive summary today in which he calls for a $25-billion increase in VA appropriations over the next five years. "By this action, President Obama is sending a clear message to those who have worn, are wearing and will wear the uniforms of the armed forces that he recognizes and appreciates - in a tangible way -- their contributions to our society," said Commander Rehbein. "Although we have yet to see the details of the budget request, this initial budget overview signals good news from the President and, by extension, his new Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Eric Shinseki." ourvoice.legion.org
