Did you see The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Wednesday? His segment on the VA disability benefits backlog was great. And everyone's talking about it. It drove the point home in a way that only Jon Stewart can do. Check out the segment:


The Daily Show will continue to report on our push to #EndTheVABacklog over the next couple of weeks, so keep your eyes peeled. It's another sign that our national effort to take care of our fellow vets is continuing to gain steam.

And there's more. Three of our IAVA Leadership Fellows will be in a powerful story on PBS NEWSHOUR tonight! It's another huge outcome from our game-changing Storm the Hill effort.

Be sure to share these stories with your friends and family. Every time you watch and share, you're helping a veteran who has a backlogged claim. Their are over 900,0000 of us. :cry:

    I love Jon Stewart and love the way he makes a point. I only want to add that even though the VA system definitely needs fixing...we are also bringing more Veterans home with diagnoised injuries these days because of better combat/field medical procedures. With the ending of the wars those Active duty, National Guard and Reserve Soldiers who normally would still be treated at the MMF are now being treated at the VA facilities.

    Still supporting #EndTheVABacklog but also being a little more understanding of the uphill battle.
    Hoooah!
