(November 23, 2010)

In order to further improve the lines of communication and to respond to the concerns between the National VA Council and you our members, I have established a National VA Council Briefing. This NVAC Briefing will bring you the latest news and developments within DVA and provide you with the current status of issues this Council is currently addressing. I believe that this NVAC Briefing will greatly enhance the way in which we communicate and the way in which we share new information, keeping you better informed.

Thanksgiving 2010

 

It’s hard to believe the holiday season is upon us in full swing.  This week we celebrate Thanksgiving, an American holiday acknowledging our roots, a day set aside for giving thanks.

For some of us it will be spent without the presence of some of our loved ones or special friends to celebrate this unique day, for they are serving our country far from their homes and families. These special men and women in uniform are securing our blessing of freedom.

Let us all take a moment and look back over the past year and recall our many blessings.  But most importantly, join me in giving thanks to all veterans, not just during the holidays, but every day, for their sacrifice, and for those who defend it still today.

I extend my deepest thanks to each and every one of you, who continually provide first class service to our veterans, whether in

VHA, VBA, or NCA.

On behalf of the National Veterans Affairs Council Officers, Executive Board, and Staff, we wish you and your family the very best during this Thanksgiving Holiday!
