Secretary Shinseki Announces Study of Vietnam-Era Women Veterans
Posted at 01:15 PM on Friday, November 20, 2009 by JC Unger
Comprehensive Study Will Help VA Provide High-Quality Care
WASHINGTON (Nov. 19, 2009) -Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K.
Shinseki announced the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is launching
a comprehensive study of women Veterans who served in the military
during the Vietnam War to explore the effects of their military service
upon their mental and physical health.
"One of my top priorities is to meet the needs of women Veterans," said
Secretary Shinseki. "Our Veterans have earned the very best care. VA
realizes that women Veterans require specialized programs, and this
study will help VA provide high-quality care for women Veterans of the
Vietnam era."
SCOCOS ANNOUNCES STAFF CHANGES AT WDVA DIVISION OF VETERANS HOMES
Posted at 01:06 PM on Thursday, November 19, 2009 by JC Unger
The following staff changes have been implemented –
1. Randy Nitschke is the Acting Administrator for the Division of Veterans Homes. He has a total of over 20 years healthcare experience in both the private and government sectors. That experience mixed with his proven leadership will keep our homes moving in the right direction.
2. Pat Shaughnessy is Acting Commandant at the Veterans Home-Union Grove. Pat has a long history of healthcare experience in both the private and government sectors as well. I have a lot of faith in Mr. Shaughnessy’s ability to keep Union Grove successful.
3. Bill Crowley is returning as the Commandant at the Veterans Home-King. Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) looked into referrals concerning certain transactions involving the Wisconsin Veterans Home at King (WVH-King) and found that neither criminal violations nor misconduct in public office occurred. With that news, it is only appropriate that Mr. Crowley should return.

1. VFW / VA Members Among Fort Hood Victims: Last week's tragic shooting
at Fort Hood included VFW and VA members. Staff Sgt. Justin M. DeCrow,
32, was killed by Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who allegedly murdered 13
and wounded dozens before being shot and apprehended by two civilian law
enforcement officers. DeCrow was a member of VFW Post 11016 in Songnam,
South Korea. He graduated high school in 1996 in Plymouth, IN, and
leaves behind a wife and daughter at Fort Gordon, GA. Two VA employees
also slain were identified as:
* Dr. Russell G. Seager, Ph.D., a 51-year old Army Reserve captain
who led a mental health team at the VA medical center in Milwaukee.
* Lt. Col. Juanita L. Warman, a 55-year-old Maryland National
Guardsman who was a nurse practitioner at the VA medical center in Perry
Point, MD. She was a former member of VFW Post 8276 in Delmar, MD.
VFW Commander-in-Chief Thomas J. Tradewell Sr. said, "No words can
properly convey our condolences to the wounded and families of those
murdered. The entire military family is grieving right now. I just
want them to know they do not grieve alone. Our hearts and prayers are
with them." Read the VFW press release at
