They weren’t hurt the way people think soldiers get hurt.
They were victims of crimes—while serving their country.

They showed up, did their job, and honored their commitment just like everyone else.
But instead of coming home whole, many were left dealing with something no one talks about—often in silence.

Some made it through. Some didn’t.
Just like any other injury, the damage is real—and it doesn’t go away when service ends.

H.R. 7976 would finally take care of veterans dealing with the lasting effects of military sexual assault—many of whom have been ignored, denied, or forced to fight for help for years.

What’s Actually Happening

Military sexual assault isn’t rare.
It’s not isolated.
And it doesn’t just stay in the past.

It follows people home—into their mental health, their relationships, and the rest of their lives.

Too many did everything right.
They served. They kept going. They didn’t complain.

And when they finally asked for help?

Too many were denied. Ignored. Written off.

What H.R. 7976 Does

This bill is simple.

It makes sure survivors of military sexual assault get the support they should’ve had from the start—including retroactive benefits for the years they were left on their own.

No games. No runaround.

Just taking care of people who were failed.

Let’s Be Honest

You’ll hear it’s too expensive.

It’s not.

We spend hundreds of billions every year on defense.
We can afford to take care of the people who paid the price.

Why This Matters

If the military expects loyalty, it has to return it.

If we ask people to serve, we owe it to them to stand behind them—especially when something goes wrong inside the system.

Right now, that’s not happening.
