Washington doesn’t have all the answers. From Tampa to communities across the country, I’m listening to Veterans and the folks on the front lines about what works, what doesn’t, and where VA can do better. That’s how we put Veterans first.

Community organizations are critical to reaching Veterans who may not otherwise connect with VA care. VA’s Fox grant program often serves as a bridge between vital federal resources and vulnerable Veterans in need of support.

Last week I stopped by the Tampa VA to learn more about its music therapy program and hear from Veterans about their care. Make sure you take time not only to check on your battle buddy but to check in on yourself.

Today we honor our Gold Star Mothers and Families, whose Veterans gave everything in service to our nation.  We remember their sacrifice by standing alongside the families they left behind and promising never to forget.

Spent time at the Orlando VA meeting with Veterans and the medical staff who serve them every day. The best way to make VA better is to hear directly from the people who know it best.
