The Honorable Patty Murray        
154 Senate Russell Building        
Washington, DC 20510   

The Honorable Dean Heller
324 Senate Hart Building
Washington, DC 20510

Dear Senators Murray and Heller:

On behalf of the Military Order of the Purple Heart (MOPH), I would like to thank you for introducing legislation that recognizes the unique health care needs of women veterans.  S. 471, "Women Veterans Access to Quality Care Act", will ensure that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) adapts to meet the needs of the expanding women veteran population.

This legislation will require the VA to establish standards in VA facilities to meet the specific needs of women veterans.  It will also require every VA medical center to have a full-time obstetrician and/or a gynecologist on staff.  It will improve the outreach of the VA to women veterans and the VA will be required to analyze the outcomes of the treatment of women veterans as part of  VA executive performance measures.

The VA, and indeed all agencies, must recognize that the number of women veterans is growing at a rapid rate and agencies must adjust to the needs of women veterans.  These women served their country and they deserve the same benefits and health care as their male counterparts with their special needs met.

Respectfully,

J. Patrick Little
National Commander

House Veterans Affairs Committee Staff Director Jonathan A. Towers Honored by the Military Order of the Purple Hear with the 2014 Exemplary Service Award.

Each year, the Military Order of the Purple Heart (MOPH) is honored to pay special recognition to a Professional Staff Member of the U.S. Congress who best demonstrates exemplary service to our nation's veterans.  On March 4, 2015, MOPH National Commander J. Patrick Little presented this year's Exemplary Service Award to Jonathan A. Towers, Staff Director of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs.

A dedicated and selfless U.S. Government employee for more than 18 years, Jon Towers has served America's veterans and the US Congress with distinction. He initially served on the staff of the senate committee on veterans' affairs, where he was the lead staff member on legislative and oversight matters concerning VA health care, disability compensation, pension, housing, insurance and memorial affairs issues. In 2011, Towers joined the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs as deputy staff director and in 2013 was selected to become the staff director, where he coordinates and oversees the legislative and oversight agenda for the Committee as directed by the Chairman.

Jon has consistently demonstrated that he is the consummate veterans advocate, and has worked tirelessly to assist the Chairman and Members of the Committee in ensuring that America's veterans receive the benefits and healthcare that they have earned through service and sacrifice. The unique needs facing Iraq and Afghanistan veterans are among towers' expertise, especially when it comes to mental health needs. In 2014 he was the lead staffer on the passage of the Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act, which improved access to health care for America's veterans. In 2015 he was instrumental in advancing the "Clay Hunt SAV" legislation to the full house for speedy passage.

Mr. Towers' exemplary service to the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs, as the committee discharges its duty to ensure America's veterans receive the honor, respect and benefits for which they are eligible, demonstrates all that is good about government service and reflects favorably upon the committee, the House of Representatives and the United States of America.

The organization now known as the "Military Order of the Purple Heart of the U.S.A. Inc.," (MOPH) was formed in 1932 for the protection and mutual interest of all combat wounded veterans and active duty men and women who have received the decoration. Chartered by the Congress, The MOPH is unique among Veteran Service Organizations in that all its members were wounded in combat. For this sacrifice, they were awarded the Purple Heart Medal. With grants from the MOPH Service Foundation, the MOPH and its Ladies Auxiliary promote Patriotism, Fraternalism, and the Preservation of America's military history. Most importantly, through veteran service, they provide comfort and assistance to all Veterans and their families, especially those requiring claims assistance with the VA, those who are homeless, and those requiring employment assistance. Programs of the MOPH include VA Volunteer Service, First Responder Recognition, JROTC Leadership Award, Scholarships, Americanism, Purple Heart Trail and Cities, Welfare, and numerous community service programs, all with the objective of service to Veterans and their families.

The Up Project
Friends,

Women across America made a big difference and brought real change at the local, state and national levels in 2014. I'm proud of the part the Unlocking Potential Project played in these many successes. In just five months, we trained hundreds of activists, hired over 100 talented and hardworking grassroots staff and utilized the best technologies to identify, persuade and turnout voters in key "purple" states – Colorado, Iowa, North Carolina, New Hampshire, and Virginia. It was a phenomenally robust and aggressive effort!

There is more work to be done. Looking ahead, we are excited to expand and empower more women to bring change to their communities. Our newest endeavor is kicking-off soon. I want to personally invite you to be a part of it.

We are excited to announce the creation of Unlocking Potential (UP), a non-profit, focused on educating women about today's issues and policies. At UP, we believe education leads to greater empowerment and real change. The organization may be new but we are wasting no time getting started!

The From Hometowns to Washington Women's Conference will ignite passion, deepen knowledge and strengthen the commitment of women across America to create real change. Joining us will be an all-star line-up of speakers and panelists including FOX News contributor and foreign policy expert KT McFarland, Arizona Secretary of State Michele Reagan, nationally recognized pollster Kellyanne Conway and more!

I encourage you to sign-up today for this FREE conference. Space is extremely limited as this is an intimate event. Act now before tickets are no longer available!

Throughout the weekend, attendees will connect with a powerful network of women leaders, examine a broad range of hot button issues and be equipped with the latest tools to develop and spread their message. Armed with fresh ideas and strategies, you will leave ready to embrace the challenge to bring real change to your communities!

I hope to see you March 20th – 22nd for a weekend that will change, inspire and empower.

Tears Of A Warrior
 
"Tears Of A Warrior: A Family's Story of Combat and Living with PTSD"
Author Tony Seahorn is a Vietnam Veteran who was wounded while serving with the Black Lions of the 1st Infantry Division.  This patriotic book was written about soldiers who are called to duty in service of their country. It is a story of courage, valor, and life-long sacrifices. Long after the cries of battle have ended, many warriors return home to face a multitude of physical and mental challenges. The war may be over for them, but the fight for rediscovering who they are is just beginning. 
Janet Seahorn, co-author and wife of Tony Seahorn writes from the perspective both as a wife who has lived for thirty years with a Veteran with PTS, and as a professional in human development and nueroscience. Dr. Seahorn's research has focused on the effects PTS has on the brain, body, and spirit.
