Please join us in congratulating Christopher Bailey, a member of Old Adobe unit #117, California, as the first and inaugural recipient of the Department of California’s revised Youth Leadership Program, selected to represent California at the National Mid-Winter Conference.

Christopher serves as unit Senior Vice Commander and as State Legislative Chairperson. He volunteers at the Mare Island VA Clinic, assisting with outreach efforts and helping create a welcoming, supportive environment for veterans during clinic hours. He also participates in state outreach events, working alongside leaderships in service to veterans and their families.

In addition to his Auxiliary service, Christopher is a student at University of California, Berkeley, where his academic focuses on public service and civic engagement. In recognition of his academic achievement and dedication to service, he has been selected as one of just 55 UC Berkeley students chosen annually for highly competitive summer public service internships in Washington, D.C., providing hands-on experience in federal policy, advocacy, and national-level public service.

Congratulations, Christopher! … See MoreSee Less

The Purple Heart Veterans Education Act (H.R. 790/S. 342), would allow veterans who are awarded the Purple Heart after discharge for service on or after September 11, 2001, to transfer their unused Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits to their dependents.

Current law restricts GI Bill transferability to service members who have completed at least six years of active duty. This bill removes those service length requirements for Purple Heart recipients, ensuring that those who were wounded in service to our nation can pass on their earned educational benefits to their families.

The bill also provides flexibility for families by allowing veterans to modify or revoke transferred benefits and ensuring dependents can continue using benefits even after the veteran’s death.

Please contact your elected officials and urge them to cosponsor and support this important legislation now: . #DAV #veterans #military #DAVCAN
