A Veterans Day Message From Social Security’s Commissioner
Reading Time: 1 MinuteLast Updated: August 19, 2021
We live in the greatest Nation in the world. We have many generations of veterans to thank for that. I have the great fortune to have David Black—a 30 year Army veteran—as my Deputy Commissioner. Working with David reminds me that selfless sacrifice and excellent leadership are often characteristics of veterans. Thus, I am pleased that so many veterans decide to continue their service by coming to work at SSA. Many of our employees have family members who are serving—we know you, too, make sacrifices and we thank you.
As the world grows ever smaller, we are exposed to more information about how our country compares to others. For me, these comparisons call to mind our freedom. Our veteran employees and the veterans who come to our agency for help ensure that this liberty continues for us and work to ensure that people in other parts of the world may also experience it. Please thank these heroes and treat them well.
I love this country and I am eternally grateful to our veterans. Have a safe holiday.

I was hoping your message would be no tax on SSA for elderly and especially those that are veterans.

“All gave some and some gave all” always reminds me that you don’t have to look far to find someone who is suffering in some way by serving our country.
Thank you all! ??

I agree! Much of the suffering of those that have survived are due to the unfulfilled promises of the federal government! EX: Increased pharmeceutical costts for elderly retired veterans on fixed incomes due to tricare increases. The current cola does not keep up with inflation! Thatis why federal employees use the employment cost index for their inflation indicator for raises!
