VEVRAA is a federal law enacted 50 years ago to support veterans looking for jobs. It doesn't do that. Meanwhile, corporations are taking credit for assistance they aren't providing, stealing valor in the process.
Unfortunately, fixing the law involves politicians and bureaucrats. VEVRAA has to be amended so that contractors face repercussions when they fail to hire veterans. The regulations need to be revised so they accurately reflect the law. Congress and the Department of Labor must act.

When it became law in 1974, VEVRAA focused on young people returning from the Vietnam War. It now covers nearly all former members of the military.
