Navy Exchange Service Command The price for school breakfast and lunch at all Department of Defense Education Activity schools outside the continental United States managed by the Navy Exchange Service Command will increase $0.25 for the 2026 – 2027 school year. This is the first change in pricing in four years. The lunch price for elementary and secondary students’ meals will be $3.75 and $4 respectively. Breakfast prices for all grades will be $2.25. There will be no price increase for students who qualify for free and reduced-price meals. Per federal guidelines, families qualifying for reduced-price meals will continue to pay 30 cents for breakfast and 40 cents for lunch. The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act (Public Law 111-296) requires DoDEA schools, as participants in the U. S. Department of Agriculture meal program, to raise paid student lunch prices to a level comparable to the rates used for USDA reimbursement. The DoDEA Student Meal Program meets the same USDA guidelines as schools in the continental United States by providing quality nutritional meals that contain whole grains, lean proteins, fresh fruits and vegetables, and milk to students.

Joshua Robinson was found guilty of causing injury related to the hit-and-run that ended the life of Navy Chief Petty Officer Tyler Murphy; he was found not guilty of murder and involuntary manslaughter, the Virginia Beach Commonwealth's Attorney's office said.

Since taking office as the secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Doug Collins has harped on one point repeatedly: The VA spends too much money on its suicide prevention operations and gets too little in return. Seventeen veterans die by suicide each day—a number that hasn’t meaningfully changed for 15 years—despite an annual budget of $588 million for its prevention programs that Collins says are rife with “serious vulnerabilities for waste.” He advocates for “tak[ing] the programs, let’s take the outreach we’re using and maybe redirect that $588 million to suicide prevention programs that are working.”

WASHINGTON — The Disabled American Veterans’ top leader delivered a dire message to lawmakers on Capitol Hill Tuesday, warning that a continued shift of resources from the Department of Veterans Affairs to the private sector risks “hollowing out the only health care system in the country that is purpose-built for veterans.” Read more at: https://www.stripes.com/veterans/2026-02-24/va-services-erodes-private-sector-grows-20864660.html Source - Stars and Stripes
