“It is VA’s commitment to ensure you have the care, benefits and memorial services you have earned. This is often best done in partnership with the local Community Veteran Engagement Board, the Veteran, volunteer and faith-based organizations in your community and with your State Department of Veteran Affairs. In this email you will find information on the many ways in which these dedicated men and women are joining with our VA team to all Veterans, their families, caregivers, and survivors. We are honored to unite in our determination to serve you and in respect for your service to our country.” - VA Secretary Robert Wilkie

"We are excited to share this first edition of our State Veterans Resources Newsletter. In partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs, our goal is to inform you of benefits and resources available to you, your families, caregivers and survivors in Texas.
On behalf of the Texas Veterans Commission, I thank all of our Veterans, active military, and their families for their continued service." - Laura Koerner, Navy Veteran, Commission Chair
