VA Helps Vets Reengage with Life
Rehabilitative Arts and Sciences
WASHINGTON – From the laboratory to open air, making medical and mental miracles are the focus
of "The American Veteran," a monthly half-hour news magazine from the Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA).
"VA brings together the best minds and hearts in many professions to help veterans reclaim their place in the world," said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Dr. James B. Peake. "These stories spotlight the deep reserve of healing within each veteran and their desire to embrace life head on."
The series is designed to inform active-duty members, veterans, their families and communities about the services and benefits they have earned and to honor them. VA's Office of Public Affairs and the VA Learning University/ Employee Education System (VALU/EES) produce the program and broadcast it to VA facilities around the world on The Pentagon Channel and to community cable outlets.
Aimed at veterans of all eras, VA also tells stories of heroism and sacrifice, and relives moments in history with those who were there, reminding veterans of the bond of service they share.
VA's Office of Public Affairs offers the program to local broadcasters and cable outlets and makes it available for viewing on the VA Web site, www.va.gov. Just click on the "American Veteran" icon at the bottom of the page.
