THROWBACK THURSDAY: My sister and I with our childhood dog Rick — a loyal German Shepherd who was always ready for adventure. Whether it was running through the fields or bounding through fresh snow, Rick was right there with us every step of the way. He wasn’t just a great companion—he was a gentle soul too, especially with our cats. A true friend, and a big part of some great childhood memories. 🐾 #ThrowbackThursday
Mastriano Shepherds Pro-Veteran Measures Through Committee
HARRISBURG — The Senate Veterans Affairs and Emergency Preparedness Committee yesterday approved three measures aimed at supporting Pennsylvania’s 650,000 veterans, according to Sen. Doug Mastriano (R-33), who chairs the committee.
“Yesterday, we stood in support of those who served in uniform by protecting them from individuals or companies that charge to obtain veterans benefits, supporting federal efforts to fund traumatic brain injury therapies and establishing a veterans business logo,” Mastriano said.
Senate Bill 1209, sponsored by Sen. Tracy Pennycuick (R-24), would require individuals and organizations charging veterans for assisting with veterans benefits to register with the state Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA).
“First and foremost, Pennsylvania has 67 county directors of veterans affairs as well as hundreds of accredited veterans service officers that assist veterans in obtaining veterans benefits for free,” Mastriano said. “I would urge veterans to utilize these services. If they choose to pay an individual or company for their services, this legislation sets important safeguards to protect them from exploitation.”
