Veterans Affairs leaders are changing the department’s mission statement from the current male-only focus to be more welcoming to women veterans, officials announced Thursday.
The current motto — in use by VA and the Veterans Administration since 1959 — is based on an excerpt from President Abraham Lincoln’s second inaugural address: “To fulfill President Lincoln’s promise ‘to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan’ by serving and honoring the men and women who are America’s veterans.” It’s displayed prominently at about half of all VA hospitals, cemeteries and office buildings across the country.

The current 'woke' regime and their anti-God bureaucrat comrades are ruining our great Republic.
Yes, I'm an "America First" white male heterosexual cisgendered able-bodied native-born Christian Patriot. Got a problem with me - talk to our Creator - I'm made in His image.
Deal with it.
