The Department of Veterans Affairs is extending the eligibility window that recently discharged veterans have to enroll in the Veterans Group Life Insurance (VGLI) program.

Sen. Jerry Moran writes: "On Memorial Day, as we should every day, we take time as a nation to pause and remember the brave Americans who gave their lives in defense of our country and we honor the sacrifice they made to keep us free.
