Reinstate Wrongfully Fired Veterans, Support Accountability Legislation

The firing of nearly 6,000 veterans from federal government jobs under the Trump administration is a deeply concerning issue that demands action. These dedicated individuals who served our nation have had their livelihoods unjustly disrupted after sacrificing for this country. I urge you to support Rep. Derek Tran's bill to reinstate without delay any veterans terminated without proper cause since the start of Trump's term. These loyal public servants deserve to have their jobs restored and receive justification from federal agencies for the dismissals. Submitting reports to Congress on these firings is crucial for accountability and preventing such reckless actions in the future. Veterans bring invaluable skills and experience from their military service that make them assets to the federal workforce. Dismissing them en masse is not only disrespectful but detrimental to an effective and qualified civil service. Protecting the jobs of those who defended our freedom through military service is not a partisan issue - it is a matter of honor and integrity for our nation. I implore you to stand up for our veterans by backing this legislation to make them whole again after this injustice. They have given so much for our country, and we owe it to them to ensure their service and sacrifices are properly valued, not cavalierly disregarded.
