New VA Facility Breaks Ground in New Orleans
More than eight years after Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf coast, Veterans Affairs has begun construction of an $800 million complex in New Orleans.
VA secretary Eric Shinseki addressed state officials, VA executives and veterans from every war since World War II Friday, promising that the new complex will prove to be worth the wait. Shinseki then broke ground with a ceremonial shovel.
