Robert A. McDonald: “I desperately want this job because I think I can make a difference.”

The VA is in crisis. The veterans are in need. There is much to do.

The impact of these cuts to veterans' care and benefits is unacceptable to me, and I know it is unacceptable to members of Congress.

Thank you, Chairman Miller. I look forward to working with you and the rest of the committee to improve the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide the kind of care that our veterans deserve.

No, this is your V.A., too, and you can change it.
