Governor Ralph DLG. Torres issued a statement on Monday on the resignation of Office of Veterans Affairs Executive Officer Stanley T. Iakopo.
“My Administration has always supported our Veterans through direct and indirect services.”
“We have advocated for equality and inclusion where there were gaps, and we’ve worked to build foundations upon which our Veterans may prosper as civilians.”
“Aside from benefits that Veterans have earned, it has been a duty of the Torres Administration to provide adequate healthcare services. I have taken this responsibility seriously. In fact, issues specific to physical, mental, and emotional health were brought up in a meeting with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (USVA) Deputy Secretary Donald Remy and other USVA officials.”
“USVA Deputy Secretary Remy commended my Administration’s outreach efforts, which included town hall meetings on Saipan, Tinian, and Rota.”
“Our commitment to Veterans is unwavering. I thank Mr. Iakopo for his service to our country and Commonwealth.”
