Mission

"To care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan."

These words, spoken by Abraham Lincoln during his Second Inaugural Address, reflect the philosophy and principles that guide VISN 6, and are the focus of VISN 6's endeavors to serve America's veterans and their families.
