American Legion:
Who: American Legion National Commander Daniel M. Dellinger.
What: Press conference to call for major senior leadership changes at the Department of Veterans Affairs in Washington.
Where: National Executive Committee Room, 4 th Floor, American Legion National Headquarters, 700 N. Pennsylvania St., Indianapolis.
When: 2 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday, May 5.
Why: Senior VA leadership in Washington has demonstrated its incompetence through a series of incidents at VA medical facilities involving preventable deaths of veterans, long wait-times for medical care and other quality-of-care issues, and the awarding of bonuses to senior executives who have overseen such operations.
The press conference will be streamed live at www.legiontv.org.
As the country's largest organization of wartime veterans, The American Legion believes that VA is a system worth saving, and that the department has reached a point of crisis nationwide that warrants the removal of VA's top leadership in Washington.
