I find it very disturbing that our proud veterans are being turned away by the VA because of who they are. We served our country honorably and proudly and the VA medical benefits we earned should not be denied or diminished simply because of the direction our lives took after discharge from active service. --Monica Helms, President of Transgender American Veterans Association (TAVA)
