Wounded Warrior Project is outraged that the continued gridlock and government shutdown is now threatening the disbursement of benefits payments to the brave men and women who served and sacrificed for this nation. These wounded veterans bear both the visible and invisible wounds of wars from burns and amputations, traumatic brain injuries and paralysis to combat stress, post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. These warriors have already sacrificed so much, it is unfathomable and unacceptable to ask them to bear any further burdens. It is the fundamental responsibility of the government to pay these service members their benefits and any disruption to those payments is shameful. These payments were earned in service to our nation. They’ve earned it; they’re owed it.
