Wounded Warrior Project Endorses Doug Collins' Nomination as Secretary of Veterans Affairs

The Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) recently expressed its support for former Representative Doug Collins in light of his nomination to become the 12th Secretary of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). This announcement arrives as the 119th Congress is set to begin, and WWP is optimistic about the confirmation process ahead.

Doug Collins is not a stranger to the military community. He serves as a colonel in the Air Force Reserve, a role that showcases his commitment to the nation. His military journey includes vital responsibilities with the 94th Airlift Wing and significant contributions as an aide to the command chaplain at Robins Air Force Base in Georgia. This extensive background in the Air Force has provided him with firsthand experience of the unique challenges faced by military personnel and veterans alike.

In addition to his military service, Collins represented Georgia's 9th congressional district from 2013 to 2021. His tenure in Congress offered him a deeper understanding of government operations and veteran affairs, allowing him to advocate effectively for policies beneficial to those who have served in the armed forces.

Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Walt Piatt, CEO of Wounded Warrior Project, highlighted Collins' deep grasp of the sacrifices made by service members. He noted, "Mr. Collins knows first-hand what service to our country means, and his experience serving in the military and Congress underscores his knowledge of the challenges veterans face and how our government can and should help them." His leadership at the VA is expected to be instrumental in addressing various issues confronted by veterans.

With a dedicated track record and an understanding of the sacred obligation the nation has towards its servicemen and women, WWP anticipates collaborating closely with Collins if he is confirmed. The organization aims to be a valuable ally to the VA in its mission to enhance the lives of veterans transitioning to civilian life.

Since its inception in 2003, the Wounded Warrior Project has been at the forefront of supporting veterans, their families, and caregivers. They provide various programs and services aimed at helping individuals affected by military service to achieve their highest potential in civilian life.

The confirmation of Doug Collins could herald a new chapter for the Department of Veterans Affairs, and WWP looks forward to advancing their efforts in partnership with him. As the organization continues to respond to the evolving needs of veterans and their families, the hope is that Collins will bring a fresh perspective and commitment to ensuring that veterans receive the assistance and support they rightfully deserve.

By aligning with Collins, Wounded Warrior Project expresses confidence in a leadership that not only understands the military but one that genuinely cares about the future of veterans in America.

As the nomination process unfolds, WWP remains focused on its mission and stands ready to support any initiatives aimed at improving the resources available to veterans across the nation. Together, as they advocate for changes to enhance the quality of life for veterans, they strive for a society that honors and recognizes the sacrifices made by those who serve.

With organizations like Wounded Warrior Project leading the charge and dedicated individuals like Doug Collins at the helm, there is optimism that progress can be made, and the promise made to veterans can be fulfilled.
