#StillServing: The VFW Podcast6 Jun 2025

Reporting for Duty … Remotely

In this episode of #StillServing: The VFW Podcast, host Rob Couture welcomes back co-host Brittany Dymond Murray in a new virtual capacity and is joined by VFW Washington Office staff to discuss a range of critical veteran issues. The team recaps a meaningful Memorial Day weekend, including wreath-laying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. They honor the legacy of past VFW National Commanders interred at Arlington and reflect on the significance of National Commander Al Lipphardt's personal connection to the Vietnam War.

The episode dives into the ongoing legislative fight for the Major Richard Star Act, a bipartisan effort aimed at fixing the unjust offset between DoD retirement pay and VA disability compensation for medically retired combat-injured veterans. Brittany passionately explains the history, misconceptions, and urgent need for action, emphasizing that the VFW has been leading advocacy efforts since the bill's inception. The conversation also highlights recent developments around fraudulent claims, warning veterans about the dangers of working with unaccredited Claim Sharks. Lastly, the hosts celebrate a new memorandum between DoD and VA, which promises a more seamless transition to care for service members which is a long-overdue step toward closing critical gaps in support.
