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 had heard OIG found some errors in payment calculations. Is this true or hype? How do I get my payment history reviewed and recalculated if this is true?
    As a former military wife I, too, applaud the service of vets and send my sincere thanks, also.

    Please ask David Black if he remember the Pentagon paper explaining the acceptable casualty rate for any given operation? Always wondered if my name was on the acceptable list. Just my thoughts, have a great Veterans day, Jim

    I am a US Army veteran. My father was captured in Vietnam in 1974 on the way Goals of the United States and was taken out of the United States When I came to know the bitter truth of my life and story, I am a US Army veteran. Also, my father was captured by a military commander in Vietnam in 1974, then died when I was 3 years old and I moved out with the United States with another family to pursue goals and honor the United States of Truth. My life was spent on the road to transition for the United States. For years, my wife was an Army lieutenant and died in 2014-2015, where I wandered outside the United States..
    I am the heir to 20% of Stock one business company that deprives me of all resources and even its namethey even stole my identity and financial documents, including cards and a huge amount of prize money that I had won but hid. That’s because my wife was in the management and investment cycle and I was confident in everything but
    I don’t want to tell a story, to tell the truth. My story is more bitter than Oliver tourist

    You just eliminated telework for thousands of veterans who work for you on a whim, with no consultation with their labor representatives, and refuse to share any data you used to make this decision. I bet David Black still gets to work from home though. That’s nice of you to let him.

    I have a neighbor friend who is a Vet whose been waiting over a year to have a surgical procedure done. He had to come to our house late at night and use one of my catheters so he could pass his urine. The VA keeps putting him off with cancellations. Lousy care on his behalf. As a Vet myself I stay clear of the VA. Would rather use my Medicare and get the care I need. Not so great a country for VA services or health care in general. My neighbor will be lucky if he doesn’t damage his kidneys or bladder before he is cared for. Just saying.
