July 4, 1776, marks the day the United States declared its independence from England. Since then, Veterans have made an ongoing sacrifice to protect that independence. Their grit, bravery and love for this country have helped preserve the freedom Americans enjoy every day. As you celebrate this holiday with friends, family, food and fireworks, take a moment to acknowledge the servicemen and women who continue to defend and inspire us all.
This Fourth of July, we encourage you to consider a career giving back to our nation’s heroes. VA is dedicated to honoring Veterans and providing them the best possible care, because they deserve it. And we’re constantly on the search for talented, passionate team members who are eager to excel in their career. Ready to make a difference serving those who’ve served America? Join us in restoring health and hope to every Veteran. Explore open positions near you and apply today—and of course, Happy Independence Day!
