Gen. Eric Shinseki
Shinseki Nominated as VA Secretary

He knows service men and women, he knows large organizations, and he knows Washington. The more than 270,000 VA employees serve veterans of all generations with great dedication, and, with record funding over the past eight years, they deliver outstanding care.
