Statement from State Veterans' Affairs' Director Dan Grant

From the Illinois Department of Veterans' Affairs

CHICAGO – “On behalf of the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, I’d like to extend my sincerest congratulations to Tammy Duckworth for being confirmed as the Assistant Secretary for Public and Intergovernmental Affairs for the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.

As the former Director of the Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs, Tammy was a tremendous advocate and leader for Illinois’ Veterans and their families. We all know first-hand how committed Tammy is to making sure that this country lives up to its promise to care for our Veterans and we couldn’t be more proud of her.

I look forward to working with Tammy in her new position as we strive to meet the needs of the Veteran population and continue to work hard to fight for all of Illinois’ Veterans.”
