Our Mission

Vision

Our Veterans, their families, and survivors will be fully aware of all benefits and entitlements for which they qualify; can easily obtain representation and assistance needed to file fully developed claims; will have a Veterans Home and Veterans Cemetery located within a reasonable commute; are fully recognized, appreciated, and supported by communities that understand the price of freedom.

Mission

The Tennessee Department of Veterans Affairs mission is to serve Veterans, their families and survivors with dignity and compassion; to be the Veterans advocate by representation and assistance in obtaining benefits, entitlements and recognition they earned in service to our Country and to promote community awareness of the sacrifices that Veterans have made.

Statement of Values

We believe Veterans are special people who deserve our efficient, productive and compassionate advocacy in return for their service to our Nation. Veterans have earned our respect and are our reason for being, our common purpose, and all our efforts are directed toward meeting their needs.
