Happy Veterans Day! The Moore You Know Veterans Update Happy Veterans Day! I thank all of those who served and risked their lives for the good of our country. Veterans’ issues will remain a key issue in the 118th Congress. As Veterans Day approaches, I want to ensure that our team is committed to helping all veterans across the Second District. Direct input from military families, caregivers, and most importantly, veterans, is crucial in making sure the policy put forward in Congress matches the needs of those who have risked everything for our country. As an Alabamian and having served myself, it is my goal to advocate for the issues that matter most to you. It is also important for me to keep you updated on the work I am doing for you in Washington, and I hope you will find this newsletter insightful going forward. In the meantime, please fill out the survey linked here to help me fight for you!

Sincerely, Congressman Barry Moore Click here to subscribe to my monthly newsletter! HIGHLIGHTS Veteran Cases Resolved My office has resolved over a thousand cases for Veterans in need of assistance accessing the benefits they are entitled to. I made a point to hire folks with servants’ hearts, and I am humbled by what we’ve been able to accomplish for the people we serve. Learn More Upcoming Veterans Healthcare Fair in Dothan On Monday, December 11th, my office will be holding a Veterans Healthcare Fair from 11AM to 2PM at the Elks Lodge located at 3041 Ross Clark Circle in Dothan. Agencies in attendance include Veterans Healthcare Administration, Veterans Benefit Administration, and the Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs. If you are a veteran in need of healthcare assistance, I hope you will come see my staff! Recent Legislation Over the last few months, I have been honored to co-sponsor many pieces of legislation that advocates on behalf of our Veterans and improves the VA. I co-sponsored the Health Care Fairness for Military Families Act, which raises the age of Tricare eligibility to the age of 26, which benefits our younger Veterans in need of health care coverage. I also co-sponsored the VA Home Loan Awareness Act. Only 13% of Veterans utilize their Veteran home loan benefits due to being unaware of this benefit. This bill brings awareness of this underutilized benefit to ensure broader awareness among the Veteran community. I am proud to have also supported the creation of a National Military and Veterans Suicide Awareness Day. We must never neglect the mental health crisis in our country and ensure that Veterans have access to all types of healthcare, ranging from counseling to a routine surgery. New Airline Program United Airlines has announced the launch of the United Military Pilot Program. This would allow active-duty U.S. military priority access to job offers as First Officers with United Airlines. Candidates do not need to hold an Airline Transport Pilot Certificate at the time of their application.
