Veterans,

The Office of Emergency Management deployed two FORTS units and two CFORT units to the St. John, Louisiana Community Based Outpatient Clinic to ensure Veterans continue to have access to in-person appointments while roof repairs are underway. VISN 16 has coordinated all wraparound services, including a professional logistics team, to fully set up and operate the deployed resources.

Veterans will begin being seen in the mobile clinic spaces on Monday, April 13, 2026, located in the St. John CBOC parking lot.

We anticipate that the deployment may continue through August, depending on the progress of the repair work. Once the roof replacement is completed, the mobile assets will be redeployed. Importantly, this mission does not affect the VA’s ability to respond to other requests for mobile clinics.

This effort is another strong example of the partnership and collaboration between VISN 16 and OEM to ensure uninterrupted access to care for our Veterans.

– a promise made, a promise kept.

Veterans,

On March 29, we observe National Vietnam Veterans Day, a day set aside to recognize and honor the men and women who served during the Vietnam War. This date marks the departure of the final U.S. combat troops from Vietnam in 1975, making it a meaningful point of reflection in our nation’s history.

National Vietnam Veterans Day serves a special purpose: to properly welcome home the Veterans who did not always receive the recognition and appreciation they deserved upon their return. Today, and every day, we honor their service, their sacrifice, and the resilience they carried long after the war’s end.

Across the country, VA facilities, community organizations, and local groups will host ceremonies, dinners, and commemorative events—including observances at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.

Many states have formally designated March 29 or March 30 as Vietnam Veterans Day, further underscoring the importance of this moment of national gratitude.

Please join us in honoring our Vietnam Veterans and in expressing our sincere appreciation for their bravery, dedication, and service to our country.

– a promise made, a promise kept.
