Dr. Richard A. Stone is the acting under secretary for health for the Veterans Health Administration, overseeing the delivery of care to more than 9 million enrolled veterans at over 1,200 health care facilities. He is a retired Army major general and veteran of the war in Afghanistan.
Last year's Memorial Day was one of the most difficult in my lifetime. For the first time for as long as I can remember, I was unable to join my fellow veterans in person to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.
COVID-19 has altered many parts of our lives, but enduring 2020 without gathering and connecting with fellow veterans was one of the most difficult for me.
