Matt Grills (American Legion) / Rich Fiesta (Alliance for Retired Americans)

Matt Grills, Managing Editor of The American Legion Magazine, joined the America’s Work Force Union Podcast and discussed the November issue. He spoke about articles that explore the global history of war crimes, the establishment of the Vietnam War Memorial and efforts to award the Medal of Honor to Navy Lt. Royce Williams, who downed four Russian MiG-15s during a dogfight in the Korean War.

 

The Alliance for Retired Americans Executive Director Richard Fiesta appeared on the AWF Union Podcast and spoke about the benefits of the Inflation Reduction Act that Republicans have vowed to repeal if they take control of Congress in the November midterm elections. He also explained why Medicare premiums will decrease and the 8.7 percent Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) to Social Security benefits – the largest increase since 1981.
