WASHINGTON - Retired Army Gen. Eric K. Shinseki took the oath of office January 21, 2009 as the Nation's seventh Secretary of Veterans Affairs, assuming the leadership of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) following Tuesday's confirmation by the Senate.
"The overriding challenge I am addressing from my first day in office is to make the Department of Veterans Affairs a 21st century organization focused on the Nation's Veterans as its clients," Shinseki said.
Shinseki plans to develop a 2010 budget within his first 90 days that realizes the vision of President Obama to transform VA into an organization that is people-centric, results-driven and forward-looking.
