VFW-SVA Legislative Fellows on Capitol Hill: Six 2023/2024 VFW-SVA Legislative Fellows traveled to our nation’s capital to participate in the VFW Washington Conference. Joining VFW delegations from their respective states, the fellows met with key staffers and congressional members, including some who serve on the House and Senate Committees on Veterans’ Affairs. The fellows focused their discussions on the VFW’s support for H.R. 4157/S. 928, Not Just a Number Act, which aims to improve veteran suicide prevention. Pictured from top left to bottom right are:
