On Veterans Day, we reflect on more than flags, parades or ceremony. We remember the
promise made by every man and woman who raised their right hand and said: “I will serve.”
From the boots on the ground to the officers and enlisted in the skies, from those on active duty
today to those who served decades ago, across the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps,
Space Force, Coast Guard, the Commissioned Corps of the United State Public Health Service
and those who serve in the National Oceanic Atmospheric Agency, those who serve in
uniforms carry our nation’s trust forward.
At the Law Offices of David P. Sheldon, PLLC, we’re honored to represent federal employees,
uniformed service members, veterans, and their families. We see every day the sacrifices that
accompany service — the hours away from home, the deployments, the weight of responsibility,
and the toll it takes on families.
And yet, for too many of our uniformed service members, including officers in the United States
Public Health Service Commissioned Corps (USPHS) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration Commissioned Officer Corps (NOAA Corps) that promise of service is coupled
with a broken promise of retirement. The fact is: they answered the call. They upheld the oath.
They trusted the system. And too often, they find themselves held back from full retirement
benefits.
That’s why we have launched our class-action effort, to make USPHS and NOAA retirees whole.
Because respect for service does not end when the uniform comes off. Respect must extend to
the benefits earned, the years of commitment kept.
This Veterans Day, let’s do more than say “thank you.”
Let’s act. Let’s honor the oath. Let’s secure dignity in retirement for those who stood watch for
our country and our communities.
If you are a uniformed service member — current, former, or transitioning — and believe your
retirement benefits have been delayed, withheld or mis-administered, now is the time to reach
out. Secure your voice. Join the effort.
From all of us at the Law Offices of David P. Sheldon, PLLC: Thank you for your service. We
honor you. We advocate for you. And we remain committed to holding the promise of retirement
true — because you kept your promise of service. Let’s ensure your service is honored — not just with words, but with justice.
