Deputy Defense Secretary Celebrates Warrior Care Month in Recorded Address
November 15, 2024 – Deputy Secretary of Defense Dr. Kathleen Hicks delivered a recorded address to celebrate Warrior Care Month, an annual observance that recognizes the sacrifices made by wounded, ill, and injured service members and their families.
In her address, Dr. Hicks highlighted the Defense Department’s commitment to providing world-class care to its warriors and their families. She noted that the Department has made significant progress in recent years in improving the coordination and delivery of healthcare services, and in providing support to wounded warriors as they transition back to civilian life.
“We owe an enormous debt of gratitude to our wounded, ill, and injured service members and their families,” Dr. Hicks said. “They have sacrificed so much for our country, and we must do everything we can to ensure that they receive the best possible care and support.”
Dr. Hicks also announced that the Department will be launching a new initiative to improve the coordination of care for wounded warriors across the military health system. The initiative, called the Warrior Care Network, will create a single point of contact for wounded warriors and their families, and will provide them with access to a comprehensive range of services.
“The Warrior Care Network will make it easier for our wounded warriors and their families to get the care and support they need,” Dr. Hicks said. “It will also help us to better coordinate our efforts and ensure that we are providing the highest quality of care possible.”
Warrior Care Month is an opportunity for all Americans to recognize the sacrifices made by our wounded warriors and their families. It is also a time to recommit ourselves to providing them with the best possible care and support.
In addition to Dr. Hicks’ address, the Defense Department is hosting a number of events throughout the month to celebrate Warrior Care Month. These events include:
- A wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery
- A concert featuring the Wounded Warrior Choir
- A 5K run/walk to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project
