Joey Strickland was appointed Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Veterans Affairs by Governor John Bel Edwards on Jan. 13, 2016. In this position, he is responsible for overseeing five Veterans Nursing Homes, four State Veterans Cemeteries, the department’s Administrative, Contact Assistance, and Claims Divisions, the Military Family Assistance Fund, Veterans Honor Medal Program, and advocacy outreach to our Veterans Service Organizations, homeless, and women Veterans.
