Among the American Legion’s top issues and priorities for the second session of the 114th Congress:


• Caring for mental health issues. Congress should provide help and proper funding for veterans struggling with mental health issues, post traumatic stress disorder and brain injuries. Alternative treatments must be provided as options for veterans and servicemembers in need of treatment for brain injuries and mental stress. 
• Provide transition assistance.Service members transitioning to the civilian world face many challenges. Congress should ensure that sequestration cuts and budget shortfalls do not impact servicemen and women. 
• Expand employment opportunities. Congress should implement a proposed pilot program that would subsidize businesses and non-profit organizations that create on-the-job training opportunities for veterans. 
• Protect our nation. Fully fund a superior national defense to battle enemies including but not limited to the Islamic State, North Korea and others. 
• Improve VA experience.Veterans must have faith that the health-care system designed for them will be there to meet their needs. There has been progress but there is need for continued improvement and reform such as strengthening the oversight program. 
• End veteran homelessness.While improvements have been made to eliminate veterans homelessness, too many are still on the streets. It is essential to continue the funding that Congress pledged to eradicate homelessness. 
• Protect the American Flag.The American Legion remains committed to protecting Old Glory, and continues to support legislation that safeguards our nation’s flag from physical desecration.
