McDaniel Law, LLC’s Post

As a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), WarCollar’s commitment to veterans is at the core of who we are. Our very own Rochelle Ranson is participating in the DAV 5K because she believes in giving back, not only for herself, but for her friends, family, and coworkers who are disabled veterans. For WarCollar Industries, LLC supporting causes like the DAV 5K means more than sponsorship—it’s about honoring the sacrifices made by our military veterans, active-duty service members, and their families, many of whom are part of our own workforce. We recognize the immense value these individuals bring, and initiatives like this reflect our company’s dedication to creating a supportive, inclusive environment for veterans and their families. From an HR perspective, this initiative underscores WarCollar’s mission to build a culture that values service, dedication, and community. When we rally behind causes that support veterans, it strengthens our employees’ sense of purpose and pride in working for a company that is not only veteran-owned but deeply committed to veteran well-being. It shows our current and future team members that WarCollar is more than just a workplace—we are a family that stands by those who have served and continue to serve. The DAV (Disabled American Veterans) organization supports over 1 million veterans annually by providing essential services—from medical care to financial assistance, education, and employment opportunities—all free of charge. Your support can make a difference. By contributing to this cause, you’re helping veterans and their families access the resources they need and deserve.

The 34-page decision from my district is both disappointing and unsurprising. There's no question that Congress needs to intervene here, and I am hopeful that there will be an appeal. I want to extend my appreciation to the Special Operations Association of America and the other excellent organizations for highlighting this issue to both Congress and the American public. The core of the district court's concern (second paragraph, page six) seems to be the initial Congressional budget estimates, which sharply contrast with the later, exponentially higher costs brought on by — it must be said — the unseemly advertising tactics of plaintiffs' attorneys (the contaminated wells at issue closed decades ago, so blasting stock imagery nationwide on repeat of healthy, young servicemembers born long after the clear legal criteria didn’t help). Side issue: veterans, seriously, we’ve got to talk about stock imagery…particularly around mental health and medications… By emphasizing the potential financial implications (runaway costs), the district court appears to have introduced an ‘artificial’ sense of ambiguity around Congressional intentions, thereby inadvertently reinforcing the Feres Doctrine and Qualified Immunity. This stands in stark opposition to what was unequivocally clear Congressional intent, which SOAA captured nicely. The analysis and writing of the district court align more with what I would expect from federal agencies and those entrenched in D.C. politics; regrettably, we are now witnessing this approach from the judiciary too.

While most #Veterans transition smoothly into civilian life, some face service-related challenges that expand the federal governments capacity to address. For those of us in the #VeteranSpace, the need often feels, unending. Consequently, communities, often unfamiliar with #military needs, must support these Veterans. Well intentioned people across #nonprofits, #government, and #CharitableOrganizations, assume what a Veteran needs, and often duplicate services or put resources into solving a problem that doesn't exist. At Veterans Bridge Home, collective impact, remains at the forefront of our mission. Using technology systems like Unite Us with our community partners like Mecklenburg County, North Carolina Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, and The Jeff Cohen Charitable Foundation allows for us to provide wrap around services across the social determinates of health. Even better? We can document those instances to demonstrate what #CharlotteVeterans greatest needs currently are and target our efforts on ensuring those partnerships remain strong. #VeteransBridgeHome #BeTheBridge
