In The Wall Street Journal, Pete Hegseth at Concerned Veterans for America identified 377 day waits at the Los Angeles VA as far back as Fall, 2012. There's no medal for executives at Veterans Affairs.

As Memorial Day weekend begins, please stay safe. Please pray for those military heroes who lost their lives defending our freedom, our veterans, the Department of Veterans Affairs and our great United States of America.
