From the fight for American independence to the defense of a young nation, Philemon Thomas answered the call to serve. A Revolutionary War Veteran, Thomas fought in the American victory at Guilford Court House in 1781. He later served as a Major General during the War of 1812, led the capture of the Spanish fort at Baton Rouge, served in the Kentucky and Louisiana legislatures, and was elected to the U.S. Congress twice. Thomas died on November 18, 1847, and is buried at Baton Rouge National Cemetery. VA is honoring a Revolutionary War Veteran each week through August 2, commemorating the official signing of the Declaration of Independence.

For 250 years, America's Veterans have answered the call to defend freedom. They kept their promise to this country. At VA, it's our duty to honor their service with the care they've earned — and to keep our promise to the families they leave behind. That's how we honor those who answered the call. #Freedom250

When Ray left the @usarmy, he didn’t know how to adapt to civilian life. He felt lost and missed the camaraderie he experienced in the service. After a downward spiral, Ray ended up in prison. Hear his full story: maketheconnection.net/storie…

I promised President Trump we’d put Veterans first, and as your Secretary, we're doing just that. From 260,000 backlog claims over 125 days to under 70,000- a 74% drop. Veterans deserve results, and we’re delivering. 🇺🇸
