Print this article Not all of Abraham Lincoln’s words are eternal. A bipartisan group of lawmakers led by New York Democratic Rep. Kathleen Rice and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand seek to make more inclusive the mission statement of the Department of Veterans Affairs by changing the current excerpt from Lincoln’s second inaugural address. Rice teamed up with a group of 67 bipartisan lawmakers last year for a similar effort to “update” the VA mission statement to be more inclusive of women and LGBT veterans and their survivors. That effort passed the House unanimously and stalled in the Senate Veterans Affairs committee. The VA would be given six months to change all references to the current mission statement, which calls for removing the word “his” and replacing it with the gender-neutral words “those” and “their.”
