VA Speeds Up Prosthetic Limb Delivery for Veterans Nationwide

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has streamlined the process of purchasing prosthetic limbs to more efficiently serve thousands of veterans who receive prosthetics through the VA every year. Under prior procurement rules, orders for all prosthetic limbs had to be approved by a contracting officer, which meant veterans had to wait several additional weeks before delivery. On April 22, 2026, VA Secretary Doug Collins exempted approximately 95 percent of prosthetic limb orders from contracting officer reviews and determined that only the most expensive prosthetic limbs would continue to be subject to these reviews. Collins also authorized local purchasing agents to source directly from local suppliers whenever prosthetic limb prices are set by Medicare, in which case there is no negotiation over price and no need for review by a contracting officer. These changes have already reduced veterans’ wait times for prosthetic limbs by 10 days, and VA expects average wait times to fall more than 40 percent – from 94 days to 54 days – as facilities across the nation fully implement this new process. “Every day counts for veterans,” Collins said. “By removing needless bureaucracy, VA is enabling clinicians and procurement teams to provide veterans with high-quality prosthetic care, better and faster than before.” More than 45,000 veterans rely on VA each year for major limb loss care.

American Legion Post 13 partners with Solace Health to support veteran healthcare navigation

Solace Health and The American Legion, the nation’s largest veterans service organization, are proud to announce a new partnership. The collaboration unites two organizations with a shared conviction: Veterans have earned the best possible healthcare and deserve expert help to get it. Together, Solace Health and The American Legion are taking on one of the most persistent challenges in veterans' healthcare. While the VA provides vital, high-quality care, many veterans receive some or all of their healthcare through private health systems covered by Medicare or commercial insurance. These veterans often need help understanding their health insurance benefits and keeping their care coordinated across systems. Through this partnership, veterans can be matched with a dedicated healthcare advocate — registered nurses and other healthcare professionals with an average of 16 years of experience — who helps them get the care they deserve. "Veterans have earned the best healthcare possible for their service to our nation," said Paul Evenson, American Legion Marketing Commission Chairman. "The VA provides high-quality care for millions of veterans. But today, many veterans also receive care from private providers, Medicare, and specialty systems, and navigating that complexity is a burden no veteran should carry alone. Through this partnership with Solace Health, veterans have access to experienced advocates who help them navigate their healthcare and get every benefit they’ve earned." Solace Health pairs veterans with dedicated healthcare advocates who handle the complex, time-consuming work that too often falls on patients themselves. Advocates explain benefits, find the right doctors and specialists, and schedule appointments. They coordinate records and communication across VA, Medicare, and private insurance, and make sure VA and civilian providers stay aligned on treatment. They take on the administrative work so veterans can focus on their health instead of the healthcare system. "Veterans should have someone in their corner who stops at nothing to get them the best care," said Jeremy Gurewitz, CEO and co-founder of Solace Health. "Healthcare is complicated for everyone, but veterans face an added burden. While they have access to excellent care through the VA, there’s often very little connective tissue between the different people and providers who take care of them. We’re proud to partner with The American Legion to make sure the gaps between systems don’t become gaps in care." American Legion members can learn more and check their eligibility at solace.health/american-legion. Solace Health is the leading healthcare advocacy platform that connects patients with dedicated, trained healthcare advocates who navigate the healthcare system on their behalf, improving outcomes and time-to-care. Founded in 2022 by Jeremy Gurewitz and Sara Sargent after their own experiences with a fragmented healthcare system, Solace empowers patients to take control of their care journeys. Solace advocates—healthcare experts with 16 years’ experience on average—coordinate with providers, guide patients through complex care decisions, and ensure continuity of care, helping patients and families overcome the barriers that stand in the way of better healthcare. We’re honored to support American Legion members. Learn more at solace.health/american-legion. Founded in 1919, The American Legion is the nation's largest veterans service organization, with more than 1.4 million members across more than 11,500 posts nationwide.

American Legion Seeks $150K for Veterans & Children Foundation in USA 250 Challenge

Dear American Legion Family and Friends, As I travel across our beloved nation, I am inspired by the amount of red, white and blue on display to celebrate America’s 250th birthday. American flags. Banners. Streamers. These decorations represent democracy, freedom, patriotism and much more. They are also intertwined with the fabric of America. As veterans, I hope you are as proud of this display of patriotism as I am. I also hope that you are engaged with The American Legion’s USA 250 Challenge, which ends on July 4. You have probably seen me in my challenge T-shirt, knocking out mile after mile on hotel treadmills. Fitness activities are just one element of the challenge. Mental wellness and community service are the others. Throughout the past 11 months, I have been impressed with American Legion Family members who are participating. We have seen posts tackle successful community service projects. We have seen Legionnaires improve their mental wellness. And we have seen American Legion Family members boost their fitness. But we have one major goal left to conquer: Raise $150,000 through the challenge for the Veterans & Children Foundation. The VCF changes lives and saves lives. It helps service officers ensure that disabled veterans are getting their benefit claims they have earned. It also provides grants to military families who need assistance due to financial issues outside of their control. But the VCF can only change lives with funding from your donations or fundraising efforts. We are getting close — we need about another $45,000 to the goal. I know that American Legion Family members can rally to execute this mission. After all, we are BETTER TOGETHER! This is our mission, raising $150,000 for our disabled veterans and military families in need. We are close but we need your help! Please consider a tax-deductible donation of any amount to the USA 250 Challenge. Visit this link to donate and help a veteran or military family in their time of need. Thank you, in advance, for your participation as we change lives and save lives through the VCF! The American Legion National Headquarters 700 N.

American Legion Posts Rally to Help Korean War Veteran Who Lost Home in Fire

Department of New York Legionnaire Marshall Hughes lives on his own, serves as first vice commander at Hamlin-Weldin Post 1532 in New Haven and drives for Uber in Syracuse, a city with a population of more than 148,000 residents. Post 1532 Adjutant Shawn Mills said he’s amazed by Hughes’ spirit, dedication to The American Legion and overall demeanor. So when Mills learned that a fire had burned down Hughes’ home in April, he wanted to do something for the past Post 1532 commander and Korean War U.S. Marine Corps veteran. Mills worked with Fuller-Taylor American Legion Post 915 in nearby Central Square, where Hughes lives, to put on a May 30 spaghetti dinner fundraiser to assist in the veteran’s rebuilding effort. “It just came to me that he’s dedicated all these years to our post,” Mills said. “And at 92 … he just lost everything. His whole life, basically. I’m 47, so I can start over again and gain back some stuff. I won’t be able to get back some things, but I could pick back up and get back to almost where I was again. At 92 years old, it’s kind of hard to get back all that.” Post 1532 currently owns two buildings, but renovations are under way at both facilities that wouldn’t allow it to host an event. So Mills reached out to Post 915 in nearby Central Square – a post he’s previously worked with – about hosting the fundraiser. “(Poat 915 Commander Heather Stevens) thought it was a great idea for both of us to merge together (for the event), since he lives out that way anyway. They were on board and they helped us. The Auxiliary, the Sons and the Legion all helped out. It was a joint effort, and that’s what it’s all about.” In addition to the dinner, the event included raffles and a 50-50 drawing. Mills’ friend Jim Rose, owner of Wired for Sound DJ & Karaoke Service, donated his time to provide music at the event. The effort also received local media coverage. The effort raised more than $2,500, while another organization, Island Harvest’s Operation: HOPE, donated $1,500 to the fundraiser. Other organizations and individuals already have said they are donating as well. Mills said the support Hughes received at the event made the veteran emotional. “He started crying and tearing up,” Mills said. “And when we presented him the money, he just couldn’t believe it.” Throughout the night, though, Hughes had a smile on his face. That’s just who he is. “He doesn’t act like anything’s wrong,” Mills said. “He just amazes me. But that’s just the way he is. It’s just like another day for him. If that was me, I don’t know what I would do.” But Mills, who started and is a member of Sons of The American Legion Squadron 1532, knew immediately what he wanted to do for Hughes, out of a sense of duty and obligation. “If we’re not doing something like this, we shouldn’t be (an organization),” he said. “That’s why we’re here. I was in Army. We all stuck together. Did the job. That’s what it’s all about.” Hughes currently is living with a friend while he waits for his property to be cleared. Once it is, he’s getting a new doublewide mobile home. And he continues to go on like he did before, showing little signs of someone who lost their home. “Something’s still making him happy,” Mills said. “And that’s all that matters.” The American Legion National Headquarters 700 N.
