National Guardsmen who respond to domestic missions – such as providing disaster assistance or working along the southern U.S. border – may not qualify for VA benefits.
“The expectations and the demands placed on our national guard and reserves that perhaps weren’t there previously, we have to make sure that federal policy reflects that.”
