Our Current Department of Veterans Affairs Projects

---

 Veteran Warriors has spent the last several years, building real reforms to many of the systems of the VA; the VBA (claims and benefits), the VHA (healthcare), HR (the Union, hiring policies and laws) and numerous other issues that have come to the forefront.   We have worked with Congressional leaders and often provided these leaders and committees with requested input on most veteran’s issues. Our efforts cover on all sectors of the VA; but we focus on specific issues as the need arises.   Currently, our primary project is working on a national investigation of the implementation and distribution of the Veteran Caregiver Program benefits and services.
