Robert A. McDonald was nominated by President Obama to serve as the eighth Secretary of Veterans Affairs and was confirmed by the United States Senate on July 29, 2014.
Prior to joining VA, Secretary McDonald was Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of The Procter & Gamble Company (P&G). Under his leadership, P&G significantly recalibrated its product portfolio; expanded its marketing footprint, adding nearly 1 billion people to its global customer base; and grew the firm's organic sales by an average of 3 percent per year. This growth was reflected in P&G's stock price, which rose from $51.10 the day he became CEO to $81.64 on the day his last quarterly results were announced - a 60 percent increase from 2009 to 2013.
Retired United States Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills of the 82nd Airborne is a recalibrated warrior, motivational speaker, actor, author and an advocate for veterans and amputees. Travis is one of just five quadruple-amputees from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to survive his injuries. Despite losing portions of both arms and legs from an IED while on active duty in Afghanistan, Travis continues to overcome life's challenges, breaking physical barriers and defying odds.
