The New York Daily News reported yesterday that a key stipend designed to allow the family members of injured service members will stop as of October 1, unless Congress takes immediate action. The stipend pays $51 per day, plus lodging expenses, for a family member to stay with a severely injured soldier while he or she is recovering in a military medical center.
Please call or write your Senators and Representatives today and ask them to take quick action to preserve this stipend. The men and women injured in the line of duty deserve the best our country can give them, and it is a crime that election-year politics may interfere with their recovery.
