*Speaking with the Marine Corps League.*
**KEY
VETERANS' LEGISLATION**
I recently introduced S. 2407, *the Financial
Refuge for Every Elderly (FREE) Veteran Act*, [link 1] to punish those
responsible for taking advantage of Montana's veterans. Check out KULR8
Billings' coverage of the bill HERE [link 2]. I will continue fighting
to get this bill across the finish line and ensure that veterans have
the financial security they deserve.
**A MONTH WITH MONTANA
VETERANS**
During August, I traveled across Montana to meet with Veterans
and their families.
I wanted to hear firsthand about their experiences
and concerns.
Also, I met with defense industry leaders that are
bringing jobs to Montana while keeping our country safe.
*SUPPORTING THE
MILITARY, VETERANS, AND THEIR FAMILIES**
On August 5th, I had the
opportunity to speak to the **Marine Corps League **during their 96th
National Convention in Billings.
Founded in 1923, this non-political
organization promotes the interests of the U.S. Marine Corps and the
ideals of American freedom and democracy.

*Discussing VA
challenges with Dr. Hayman. *
On August 9th, I spoke to the **Scobey
Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW)** **Post 173** during their
100thAnniversary**.
**During this event I presented the Post with an American Flag
flown over the U.S. Capitol in their honor. Established in 1919, the
Scobey VFW Post 173 was the first VFW Post established in Montana to
support service-connected disabled veterans.
On August* *26th, I
traveled to Fort Harrison to meet with **Dr. Judy Hayman, **the new
*Montana* VA Director**.
We discussed current impacts of the VA MISSION Act
[link 3]. Dr. Hayman plans to address the challenges of retaining
qualified medical providers and lowering the wait times for access to
emergency services.

*Receiving an overview of the F35 Lightning
II.*
On August 26th, I also received an update on the F-35 Lightning
fighter aircraft and its positive impacts on the Montana economy.
This
fifth-generation aircraft will ensure our warfighters have the
capability needed to keep our country safe while contributing $16 million
annually to Montana's economy
Best Wishes,
