MJR. RICHARD STAR ACT-SUPPORT

Summary

The resolution calls on the U.S. Congress to back legislation that would let service members who retire for medical reasons receive both their full retirement pension and disability compensation. It targets veterans forced out before 20 years of service, who currently lose retirement pay when they collect disability benefits. The measure highlights the case of Major Richard Star, whose death from lung cancer underscores the need for change.
