Sen. Tuberville’s hold on these routine promotions has consequences up and down the active-duty force that will take years to fix,” VFW Commander-in-Chief Duane Sarmiento said. “By sending this letter, the VFW is making our voice very clear – this is not the way Congress should do business.”In a letter dated September 18 sent to the Alabama lawmaker, the 1.5 million member strong organization makes clear that Tuberville’s position is harming both readiness and...
