Nothing is more perilous than to be on the cutting edge of change. No matter what our critics say, @DeptVetAffairs is changing to be the best it can be, and we’re proud to be working with @NCHVorg to improve the way we help homeless Veterans.

Today we remember the American heroes who took the oath, bravely fought for us and gave the last full measure of devotion. #MemorialDay

.@SecVetAffairs on tomorrow night's @Freedom250 National Memorial Day Observance at Arlington National Cemetery:
"Memorial Day is a time for those who did not come home... It will be telling the story of what they did, and tomorrow night will be a very special time."

Today we honored the names etched into the Vietnam Veterans Memorial through the humble act of washing the wall. It’s our way of saying welcome home and remembering their sacrifice. It’s also a reminder to those in the future, that if you don’t step up as well, this freedom we have, is not there.

I’m tired of hearing about what we GIVE to Veterans. They’re not given anything. Veterans have EARNED every bit of their benefits the minute they raised their right hand!

Absolutely terrible. Rest in peace, Kyle
We are saddened and heartbroken to share the news of the passing of Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup champion and one of our sport's greatest and fiercest drivers. He was 41 years old.
We extend our deepest condolences to the Busch family, Richard Childress Racing and the entire motorsports community.

VA employees are the greatest in the world, but the successes they achieve every day at @DeptVetAffairs are rarely acknowledged. I reminded Congress that our employees have worked tirelessly to make healthcare more accessible, lower wait times, and deliver benefits faster than ever. Veterans are seeing the change and I’m proud to be part of this team.

.@SecVetAffairs: "VHA just got to the point to where... the leadership structure was not sustainable for the veterans... the local hospitals, the local clinics will have the ability to help the veteran that walks through the door. That's the metric that we use."

I’m about getting results that political fluff can’t fake
Quit lying to our veterans
Political grandstanders like @SenDuckworth will never admit the fact that @DeptVetAffairs is vastly improved under President Trump, providing Veterans more health care - and more health care choices - than ever before.

Had the opportunity to share some advice with the @uofnorthgeorgia graduating class of 2026 today and teach a little math.
ADD a thick skin and tender heart
SUBTRACT the fear
MULTIPLY the opportunities
DIVIDE life into the things that matter
Today is the launchpad to the rest of your life. Enjoy it. Embrace the challenges ahead. And do it even if you’re scared.

Wrapped up a busy week on the road with @RepBryanSteil and Veterans in Janesville, Wisconsin to talk about access to care and benefits. Direct feedback from Veterans is exactly what we need to keep the @DeptVetAffairs moving in the right direction.

Stopped by the Grand Junction VA Medical Center, the only 5-star hospital in its region, with @RepJeffHurd today. Together we saw how @DeptVetAffairs employees work together and deliver world class care for our heroes.

Even a snowy day in Denver couldn’t stop @repgabeevans and I from hearing directly from local Veterans. During our town-hall we discussed how @DeptVetAffairs is focused on delivering care by modernizing and improving the healthcare system to be as strong and resilient as the Veterans we serve

Great to be back in Arizona with @RepCiscomani! Our Veteran roundtable today proved that @DeptVetAffairs is doing exactly what it’s supposed to be doing: putting Veterans first. Proud of the work we’re doing in southern Arizona and across the country.
