Thanksgiving offers time to reflect on VA’s mission, community.

As friends and families gather to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday, Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) put out a message reflecting on their mission.

This week alongside the Veterans we serve, it’s a perfect time to reflect on some of the many things that we’re thankful for every day at the VA, including:

-Our colleagues, who are the reason we can provide the care Veterans deserve.

-Our innovators, who find new ways to provide life-changing care every day.

-Our leaders, who empower us to succeed in our work.

But most importantly, we’re thankful to our Veterans. At VA, we know that our world would be a very different place without Veterans, and it’s our daily goal to make sure that when they walk through our doors, they receive the care they need. Their sacrifices inspire and motivate us to deliver the best care, and to help them live healthy and prosperous lives.
