How can congress and the president of the united states fight for illegals from other country when we have over a million veteran waiting for help from the VA BUT I GUESS VETERANS ARE ONLY GOOD TO TAKE PICTURE WITH TO GET ELECTED

missing one or two formations are worth a court martial and damages a persons future, but after fullfilling his part, a fine line is walked for a homeless veteran since his frustration from hunger and shelter is scrutinized

Very well said Mr. Shinseki and I appreciate your perspective on the situation. Might I suggest that early development curriculum in our school teaching fundamental positive attitudes might help build the right attitudes and not just when the training of the military when our service men and women happens. When parents fail to build values and self-respect at the core of a new individual, they can be easily misdirected when released from the military.

A poor leader is what you get when the president appoints Shinseki as secretary. The 4th of July rally at the Houston National Cemetery was a disgrace. A lawsuit was filed against the secretary for infringement of 1th amendment rights and the cemetery director, Arleen Ocasio. Listen to the youtube video, God under Fire by the department of veterans affairs. This action seen to be a plot to take away God from the cemetery services. Who knows what sinister plots await veterans and families.

NEED ALL VETS TO COME TOGETHER AND GET THE VA TO BUILD OR RENOVATE THE EXISTING HOSPITAL HERE IN NEW ORLEANS...THERE IS NO HOSPITAL HERE!!!

[bigmack791]

We die protecting other country and our families are dying on the streets of America and our government takes the side of the people killing our families.that way our government treats us veterans we serve and they could careless we even come in second to illegals ,Our President has spoke about illegals in Arizona 6 times over labor day weekend veterans twice

The practices of the VA & much of our government are the #1 reasons why I would tell my son not to serve if he were to ask my opinion on the matter. This is not the same country my family & I served for so many generations. The VA is not honorable enough to even deserve to utter the words "Service" or "Veteran". Mr. Shinseki, you have made a bold promise & by doing so have thrown down the gauntlet. We are picking up that gauntlet & screaming in your face "PROVE IT!!!!"
