SUBJECT: Please support H.R. 7401

Dear [Official’s Name],

I am reaching out to you as a concerned citizen from [City / Region / State – District], urging you to do everything you can to support H.R. 7401, “Contract Our Vets,” introduced by Representatives Mike Waltz and Jimmy Panetta.

This bill aims to expand contracting options for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs) within the Department of Defense. As an advocate for the veteran small business community, I would like to highlight the positive impacts this legislation aims to achieve:

Facilitate the creation of 30,000-50,000 new SDVOSBs.
Generate 150,000 – 250,000 new veteran jobs.
Strengthen the DOD’s supply chain by engaging more committed veteran vendors.
Drive down prices at the DOD through increased competition.
Enhance recruiting and readiness efforts by offering business opportunities with the largest buyer in America – the DOD.
Significantly reduce veteran suicides by providing meaningful employment opportunities.

This legislation is crucial as it serves our veterans after their service to our nation. Moreover, the collaboration between veterans and the DOD promises greater efficiency and effectiveness, ultimately enhancing our nation’s defense capabilities. It’s a series of wins for America.

Thank you for taking the time to review this, and I look forward to the possibility of your sponsorship.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
