On Veterans Day 2025, Senator Roger Wicker posted a “Happy Veterans Day” video on his official Facebook page. Instead of the usual supportive comments, he was confronted by combat-injured veterans from across the country calling him out for blocking the Major Richard Star Act and misrepresenting its cost to Congress.
Veterans filled his comment section with facts, personal stories, and direct challenges — turning his own post into a public accountability moment. You can see the backlash here:
