Eric Shinseki: “Putting veterans first is, as I indicated in my opening statement, what we are all about.”

a veteran, no matter where he or she lives, deserves to have access to the best health care we have in our system

I assure them that at VA our experience is when we diagnose and treat whatever the issue is, but even PTS or PTSD, that people improve and that they should not let that be a barrier to them making a hiring decision.

No one who has served this Nation should ever find themselves living without care and without hope.

Congress should continue its oversight and hearings to stimulate VA and DoD to improve their policies and practices for MST care and claims compensation.
