To care for him who shall have borne the battle
and for his widow and his orphan." These words, spoken
by Abraham Lincoln during his Second Inaugural Address,
reflect the philosophy and principles that guide
VA in everything we do, and are the focus of our
endeavors to serve our Nation's veterans and their
families.
The Department of Veterans Affairs
(VA) has one of the most diverse, challenging, and
rewarding missions in the United States Government.
We strive to meet the needs of the Nation's veterans
and their families today and in the future.
VA
manages one of the largest health care systems in
the world, provides veterans and their dependents
with many other services such as benefits and education,
and also provides burial benefits.
Our goal
is to provide excellence in patient care, veterans'
benefits and customer satisfaction. We can provide
you with challenging, interesting, meaningful work
to care for the veterans who have risked their lives
to protect our freedom.
As the Department
of Veterans Affairs heads into the 21st century,
we will strive to meet the needs of the Nation's
veterans today and tomorrow. We are a more customer-focused
organization, functioning as "One-VA" and delivering
seamless service to our customers.
