<p>President-elect Donald Trump announced on Thursday evening that he has nominated one of his top former allies from the House of Representatives to serve as the head of Veterans Affairs.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am pleased to announce my intent to nominate former Congressman Doug Collins, of Georgia, as The United States Secretary for Veterans Affairs (VA),&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;Doug is a Veteran himself, who currently serves our Nation as a Chaplain in the United States Air Force Reserve Command, and fought for our Country in the Iraq War.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We must take care of our brave men and women in uniform, and Doug will be a great advocate for our Active Duty Servicemembers, Veterans, and Military Families to ensure they have the support they need,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Thank you, Doug, for your willingness to serve our Country in this very important role!&#8221;</p>
<p>Collins defended Trump during the two impeachments that he faced during his first term in office and against allegations that his 2016 campaign colluded with the Russian government.</p>

<p>In a statement, Collins said that he was &#8220;honored to accept @realDonaldTrump&#8217;s nomination as Secretary of Veterans Affairs.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Our heroes deserve the best care and support,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We&#8217;ll fight tirelessly to streamline and cut regulations in the VA, root out corruption, and ensure every veteran receives the benefits they&#8217;ve earned.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Together, we&#8217;ll make the VA work for those who fought for us,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Time to deliver for our veterans and give them the world class care they deserve.&#8221;</p>
