Veterans Affairs Deputy Secretary Donald Remy says he’ll still be a champion of department services even after he leaves his leadership post this week.

“My dad still gets his care at VA,” said Remy, the son of a Vietnam War veteran and himself a former soldier. “We’ve been able to use the benefits that VA has to offer as the result of his service. And when I’m no longer in this role, I still can scream from the mountaintops that this VA is here to serve every veteran.”
