Remarks by Secretary Denis R. McDonough Student Veterans of America National Convention 2021 (Virtual) Washington, DC
Good evening, everyone, I’m really happy to join you. SVA is one of our country’s most important Veterans service organizations, and one of VA’s best partners. And I look forward to strengthening that partnership.
Jared [Lyon], Pam [Erickson], the rest of your leadership team thanks for inviting me. More important, thanks for your devotion to America’s Veterans, devotion that’s paying dividends in the leadership that SVA alums bring to communities and the nation.
I’m thinking of SVA alums like Air Force Veteran Alexandria Sawin, Student Veteran of the Year in 2019 from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Alexandria’s worked with The Mission Continues, helping children and families experiencing homelessness in Boston and Cambridge.

Veterans Affairs (VA) care and services for women veterans.
The Senate and the House of Representatives passed the Johnny Isakson and David P. Roe, M.D. Veterans Health Care and Benefits Improvements Act of 2020, a package of veterans’ health care and benefits improvement. It includes the Deborah Sampson Act, legislation that will eliminate barriers to better support the needs of women who answer the call to serving their nation in uniform. “We need to create a culture at the VA that welcomes women veterans and makes them feel like they belong. It’s long overdue that we update the belief that when a woman seeks care at the VA it’s because her husband is the veteran,” Boozman said on the Senate floor.
Congress is sending President Donald Trump legislation to sign into law championed by U.S. Senator John Boozman (R-AR) that will enhance Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) care and services for women veterans.
