Dr. Linda Schwartz.

It’s been two years since Connecticut's former State Veterans Affairs Commissioner Dr. Linda Schwartz was named Assistant Secretary for Policy and Planning at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. In that role, her focus has expanded dramatically -- encompassing issues relevant to veterans and their families across all 50 states. 

This hour, we sit down with Dr. Schwartz. We learn more about her work and her goals for the federal VA. We also take your calls, Tweets, and emails. Are you a veteran? Do you have a family member who has served? What questions do you have about how the VA serves you?
