VA Employee and Army Veteran
Ask any of the 21.8 million Veterans what they want and they will tell you: access to information when and how they want it.
U.S. Air Force Veteran; Fellow at the Mission Continues
I got out of the military at 22, and felt on top of the world. My GI Bill was in front of me and I was ready to grab life by the horns; I was certain I had all the tools to be successful and happy in the civilian world.
Director of the Office of Rural Health, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
41 percent of Veterans enrolled in VA health care live in rural areas. We are happy to announce VA’s plans to open eight new rural community-based outpatient clinics throughout the country.
Dietitian, VAMC Fayetteville
Summertime…my favorite season! I’m sure many Veterans enjoy the summertime fun with family cook-outs, and the VA nutrition team is here to help you do it safely!
U.S. Army Veteran; Fellow at the Mission Continues
Every time I get asked how I found The Mission Continues, I am not sure how to answer. I call it divine intervention while others say it was luck.
U.S. Air Force Veteran; Communications Specialist, Veterans Benefits Administration
Working at one of the Big Six Veteran Service Organizations taught me a few things about VA. First, the regional offices that process compensation claims are not equal, some are more consistent.
Deputy Chief Consultant for Specialty Mental Health, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
The strengths of Veterans, their courage, determination, and camaraderie, make them especially well equipped to work through and overcome the challenges that we all face in life.

Let’s face it, Veterans benefits processes haven’t changed much since the 1950s, but the world has changed around it.
U.S. Air Force Veteran; Fellow at the Mission Continues
I got out of the Air Force after serving 26 months of active duty. I was stationed overseas, so I was not just transitioning to civilian life; I was transitioning back to the U.S.
Director, U.S. Office of Personnel Management
On Tuesday, I was excited to be with thousands of our nation’s Veterans in Detroit at the VA for Vets Hiring Fair. The fair went through Thursday, with interviews and job offers happening on the spot for jobs all around the country and across a wide variety of occupations–from pizza companies to big-name consulting firms–along with government agencies.
Public Affairs Officer, G.V. (Sonny) Montgomery VA Medical Center
A crowd gathers as Babette Peyton, sitting in her wheelchair, stares down at the target 50 yards away. Holding a compound bow with her right hand, a spotter places the nock of an arrow onto the string. She squints through the sight, sets her jaw firm, grabs the string, with her teeth, to slowly draw it back…Yup, with her teeth.

Mr. Hill was wondering what he could do for homeless Veterans. That discussion became the inspiration for a 425 mile bike ride that Mr. Hill began on Saturday with seven other riders.
