The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) embodies a solemn commitment to America's veterans. Established in 1930 and elevated to a Cabinet-level executive department in 1989, the VA provides essential services such as health care, benefits programs, and access to national cemeteries to those who have served in the U.S. military. Its creation underscores the nation's responsibility to care for its soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines who risked everything to protect our freedoms.
The V.A. Flag Design
The Department of Veterans Affairs flag features a central emblem, Traditional color scheme and Motto banner. At the heart of the flag lies the Department of Veterans Affairs emblem, representing the agency's core mission of service and showcasing the American Bald Eagle perched on a stylized flag. The flag's background is a navy blue, embodying the depth and seriousness of the VA's mission. The emblem itself is rendered in gold and white, colors that stand for honor, purity, and the high ideals of the nation. Encircling the emblem is a golden banner with the VA's motto, "To care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow, and his orphan," a promise attributed to Abraham Lincoln. This encapsulates the VA's dedication to serving and supporting veterans and their families.
