Minnesota Military Radio - Tune in this Weekend

Minnesota MIlitary Radio

For over 12 years, the award-winning Minnesota Military Radio (MMR) has been the forum for retelling the stories of Minnesota?s heroes. Vietnam Veteran and volunteer host Tom Lyons shares these stories which are carried on 65 broadcasting stations throughout the state of Minnesota in an effort to preserve the stories of our Veterans and keep listeners up to date on things happening at MDVA and in our Veteran Community here in Minnesota.

Coming up this week we meet with the command team at the 133rd Airlift Wing [ [link removed] ], learn about the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility (DEIA) Program at the Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs [ [link removed] ] and get an update from the Command Senior Enlisted Leader of the Minnesota National Guard [ [link removed] ].

VA Shares Tips to Protect Veterans? Benefits from Fraud

Video Message [ [link removed] ]

VA Secretary Denis McDonough is sharing an important message during International Fraud Awareness Week from Nov. 12-18, 2023, to raise awareness and provide Veterans tips to stay safe from predatory behavior of ?claim sharks.?

Claim sharks are professionals who use aggressive tactics through the mail, telephone and online tools to take advantage of Veterans, their families, caregivers and survivors.

Watch Secretary McDonough?s video [ [link removed] ] to learn about the ways these scammers seek to mislead and misinform, and find the resources VA has in place to safeguard Veteran benefits.

With a historic expansion of benefits under the 2022 PACT Act came new tricks and scams to rob Veterans of their valuable benefits. You protected us, we want to protect you.

?We will continue to protect Veterans and will cooperate with our federal partners to bring bad actors to justice,? McDonough said.

The PACT Act and Your VA Benefits

The PACT Act is a new law that expands VA health care and benefits for Veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange and other toxic substances.

The PACT Act adds to the list of health conditions the VA presumes are caused by exposure to these substances. This law helps provide generations of Veterans?and their survivors?with the care and benefits they?ve earned and deserve.
