It is unfortunate that this group of heroes haven’t been recognized appropriately. The FEDERAL GOVERNMENT has to ensure that they receive the benefits they deserve. However, in Wisconsin, Veterans are only eligible for Wisconsin Veteran Benefits if they enlisted as a Wisconsin citizen and then returned to Wisconsin to reside. Therefore, to now open up Wisconsin VA benefits to these veterans is not fair or appropriate to all of the Wisconsin Veterans who have met that eligibility. In an era where we jump to try to fix a perceived injustice, we often create a new injustice. Please understand what is being proposed and how it affects all of our state residents. This should be sent to our Federal Representatives to right the wrong, it is not up to our taxpayers to fix this problem for the country.
