.@SecVetAffairs on Veterans Day: It is the combined forces that give us election days—that give us freedom of speech, press, and assembly. Without them, all those freedoms would be under attack or gone. 🇺🇸

I agree @SecVetAffairs, there’s no better way to grow our economy, get illegal alien truckers off our highways, and deploy elite American talent — than by putting Veterans behind the wheel of America’s big rigs 🇺🇸 Freedom Haulers is a win for our Veterans AND our supply chain

When duty called, he answered. When his country needed him, he stood ready to defend it. Known as the “American Sniper,” Chris Kyle served four combat deployments in Iraq as a U.S. Navy SEAL. After leaving the military, he dedicated himself to helping fellow Veterans. This Veterans Month, we honor Chris Kyle’s service, sacrifice and enduring legacy. 🇺🇸

Voting is one of the greatest rights we have as Americans. There are millions of Veterans who never asked for a thing in return except that you’d use what they protected. Today you can use that right. Go vote!

As we begin Veterans Month, I’m reflecting on the honor of laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier last year. A powerful reminder that freedom comes at a cost, and that some of our nation’s heroes never made it home. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten. This month and every month, we honor those who answered the call to serve. 🇺🇸

This week I met with VHA leaders and challenged them to spend a portion of their day focused on how we continue to improve @DeptVetAffairs. Our jobs are to provide world-class care and benefits to Veterans, and we will never stop putting Veterans First. 🇺🇸

The numbers don’t lie. 300,0000+ new Veterans have enrolled in VA healthcare this year. @POTUS' reforms are working, and Veterans are seeing the difference. Read: news.va.gov/press-room/follo…

Blatant lies from @RepMarkTakano. Here are the facts: Takano held a meeting, didn’t tell me about it, and is faking outrage because I wasn’t there. Sorry, Mark, but instead of attending your meeting I wasn’t invited to, I was unveiling a new state-of-the-art @DeptVetAffairs clinic that will better serve California Veterans (I invited you along, but you declined.) va.gov/greater-los-angeles-h…

Secretary Collins visited West LA VA but skipped meeting the veterans who actually live there. RM @RepMarkTakano sat down with those veterans, listened to their concerns, and is using their voices to shape decisions about the West LA campus. Making time for veterans is nonnegotiable.
