2017 has been a year of accomplishments for VA and this is a perfect time to reflect on, acknowledge, and thank all of those who have enabled our many accomplishments for Veterans during this past year.
75 years after the United States entered World War II, Filipino Veterans received national recognition when they were recently awarded the Congressional Gold Medal – the highest civilian honor the United States can bestow.
The committee will focus on matters related to Veterans’ families, caregivers, and survivors across all generations, relationships, and Veteran status.
Leading VA’s care efforts in the middle of the devastation is the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center, which remains open for emergent medical care for those Veterans who can make it to the facility despite heavy flooding and closed roadways.
During this National Volunteer Week, VA facilities around the country are holding events to honor and recognize the dedicated volunteers who make life better for America's Veterans and their families.
