Jake served in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. After separating from service he was injured and partially paralyzed. He came to VA for help, and received much more than he expected.
Today’s #VeteranOfTheDay is Army Veteran William James Bean, who fought in the Battle of Saint-Mihiel and the Meuse-Argonne Offensive during World War I.
For more than a decade, caring and experienced Coaching Into Care professionals have been empowering Veterans’ families and friends with guidance and resources to have discussions about mental health.
On Juneteenth, we remember, we commemorate and we reflect on the long road to freedom forced upon Black slaves across America. We stand with those who have continued that fight ever since. Their resilience represents the best of us, and we at VA, will never forget their sacrifices to this Nation. America proudly celebrates alongside them.
