Heroes among us
The HERO Act (An Act Honoring, Empowering, and Recognizing our Servicemembers and Veterans) is now law, helping nearly 30,000 women veterans and thousands of LGBTQ+ veterans.
“This is our most comprehensive veterans’ legislation in over 20 years, and it’s the result of Massachusetts coming together to make veterans our priority,” said Gov. Maura Healey.
