On Friday, Senator Hirono met with Secretary of Veterans Affairs Robert McDonald. Senator Hirono discussed the three tenants of her Veterans Action Plan in her meeting with Secretary McDonald: the need for better communication and collaboration between veterans, communities and the VA; timely access to health care for veterans throughout all the islands; and the VA’s role in improving veterans transition to civilian life.
The Secretary also gave Senator Hirono the VA seal, which she will proudly hang in her office.
