It's time to end ALS. Veterans are DYING from this disease. What will we say when combat wounded veterans are diagnosed with ALS-sorry you overcame your battle wounds to only be diagnosed with a terminal disease. @AlSvets @PVA1946 @SenateVA @VetAffairsDems @HouseVetAffairs

Lara Garey cared for her husband Tom, an Air Force Veteran, throughout his ALS until his death in 2022. She gave a speech last year at an event for Texas Veterans where she beautifully explained the impact that caregiving had on her and her family. youtube.com/watch?v=Uh26FD…

So many people worked to see this bill move forward. I'm so happy to know we are almost across the finish line. It has been an exciting, frustrating, eye-opening process, but truly knowing what this bill will do for my community.....worth it! Thank you everyone!

@JohnCornyn @tedcruz @SVACGOP The House voted by a largemargin to pass the Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Bill. It's your turn to do the same. We have needed this for a long time. My USAF ALS veteran who served the state of Texas @TDCJ died needing components of this Bill.

@RepLuttrell Yes!!! Getting this Bill through the house is long overdue. Removing the 65% cap on care will better the lives of high acuity ALS/SCI veterans. Can you get @chiproytx to vote yes this time around? He has veterans in his district that need this Bill. All yes votes, blue and red!

@HouseDemocrats @HouseGOP The Dole 21st Century Act is the single piece of legislation with the removal of the 65% Cap that will give high acuity veterans and their caregivers what they need to live at home while fighting a terminal disease like ALS. We need this now

@HouseDemocrats @VetAffairsDems Don't let partisan roadblocks or special interest groups derail more than a year of work to help those who have earned these benefits. Pass H.R. 8371 to help veterans, caregivers, and survivors today!”

Lara's husband Tom Garey was an Air Force veteran, and he was diagnosed with ALS at 47 years old. Among tons of other advocacy, Lara co-leads the Veterans Team at I AM ALS in Tom's memory. We love you, Lara! #CallingAllCaregivers Read more of Lara's story: iamals.org/stories/lara-g…

If you're a Veteran who has been diagnosed with ALS, you have numerous resources available to you through the VA. The Veterans Team created this checklist to help you get all the benefits you are entitled to from the VA. iamals.org/wp-content/upl…
