- “To care for him (or her) who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan.” With these words, President Abraham Lincoln, in his second inaugural address in March 1865, affirmed the government's obligations to care for those wounded while in Military service and to provide for their families. Lincoln's words became the motto of the Veterans Health Administration (VA) in 1959. [Source: Encyclopedia of Human Services and Diversity; Military Personnel]
