Tammy Duckworth, Assistant Secretary of Public and Intergovernmental Affairs for the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, discusses the need to continue to expand outreach to veterans through social media.
Some of Tammy’s VlogViews:
“[Veterans] don’t deserve to suffer with whatever their illnesses are…so with what you are talking about doing with social media and reaching out to them is so incredibly important.”
“When you go online there is no squad leader. How great would it be if you were on the G.I. Bill webpage and you had a question and you can actually talk to a squad leader online who will answer your questions?…When [veterans] are in some of these chat rooms why are we not there as guest bloggers so the veterans community knows, ‘hey on this day and time we are going to have a VA benefits rep and he will answer your questions.”
