As the deadline to make a decision about our national debt ceiling quickly approached, veteran organizations have raised their concerns. If President Obama and other members of our government don't come to consensus by August 2nd, then many people will be affected. One of the major groups affected will be the military.
Similar to what happened in April, if the debt ceiling is not raised then active duty military will not be paid their wages, and neither will disabled veterans, who rely on their disability checks to stay afloat. No decisions have been made yet and the clock is still ticking. Organizations such as the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) are supposed to meet at the White House to discuss possible scenarios.
In an effort to raise awareness and support for their cause, the DAV has issued a virtual campaign on Facebook. They hope to gain some support in their quest, so that the 80 million people in question will receive the payment that they were promised.
