Network Director's Letter to Veterans: The Best Healthcare Anywhere

Memorial Day, the last Monday in May, is set aside to honor America's fallen warriors. This holiday began almost spontaneously in the years after the Civil War, as citizens of a reunited America responded to the call to remember and honor those who died in our nation's bloodiest war.   Get Your Prescriptions Online You asked for it, and you got it!

We also recognize the 41 million men and women who served in the military during wartime and the 25 million veterans who are alive today -- the majority of whom served during periods of war. As VA employees we work every day to honor those who have fallen by serving our living veterans. We honor veterans who seek health care at our medical centers and community clinics with professional and compassionate health care. We owe America's best our best -- and we deliver or best each and every day. On this Memorial Day America will remember our fallen countrymen and women; yet for those of us who work for the Department of Veterans Affairs, this day is also about patriotic service to the living. We honor those who gave their lives for this country by proudly serving those who served. Michael A. Sabo Network Director
