Eric Shinseki: “Too many veterans wait too long to receive benefits they deserve. We know this is unacceptable...”

if we've recognized ALS as a service-connected condition, we ought to provide all the care and benefits that go along with caring for our veterans.

Your support of it is critical to providing veterans the care and benefits they have earned through their service and sacrifice.

I expect our employees to provide the highest quality, safest care we can provide.
