Today is the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. To celebrate this monumental occasion, NTD News interviewed Veterans Affairs (VA) Secretary Douglas Collins to talk about the army, the military, the VA department, and the Secretary’s personal faith.

The Epoch Times, sister media outlet of NTD, shares some key moments from the interview:
The country will celebrate the Armyās founding with a military parade in Washington, which Collins believes is an important event for members of all armed services, past and present.
…
Collins said every person who has worn the uniform stands in the line of patriots who served their country, dating to the Revolution.
āTheyāre tracing their lineage back to the citizen soldier who went out and said, āWeāre going to be a country. Weāre not going to be told what to do,āā he said.
Secretary Collins also discussed some of the steps he has taken to reform the VA:
As an example, Collins cited a significant reduction in the number of disability applications that had not been processed within 200 days. The backlog had reached more than 260,000 during COVID-19 and had remained largely unchanged. Collins directed his staff to work intently on that issue.
āWeāre under 200,000 for the first time in over two years,ā Collins said, a reduction of 25 percent.
…
The agency has also reformed its service to Gold Star families, those who have lost a loved one in the line of duty.
The Secretary said that he hopes people will look back on his time with the VA to conclude “that he made a difference.” He also stressed how important his faith is to making a difference, likening it to a pair of glasses he wears.
āI can see, technically, without my glasses. But when I put my glasses on, I see much clearer,ā Collins said.
āMy faith is that way.
āFor me, faith is all. Outside my savior, Jesus, I have nothing.ā
Secretary Collins said that today is an occasion for Americans to give thanks for those who offered their lives in protection of our nation. Let’s thank God for the U.S. Army, as well as for every man and women who serves and has served in our nation’s military!

God, we thank You for the U.S. Army, as well as for every man and woman who has served in our military. We ask You to bless Secretary Collins and give him wisdom as he seeks to serve the veterans of our nation.
YHVH, please protect this celebration today. I thank You for our armed forces, and for each and every person serving now and our veterans, as well. Please bless them for their service to our nation, and may they know You through Yeshua Your Son – the greatest blessing! Thank You, for Secretary Collins and his strong witness for You, and desire to make a difference. Please transform our VA and armed forces through restoring righteous leadership, such as his.
Father, bless our veterans. Thank you for what you are doing in the VA. Bless Secretary Collins and may he walk in your wisdom.
Ps. 91 Praying over our US army and all the people in our Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Special Forces!!!
God bless, protect these people. Thank you the Special Celebration, acknowledgement, for ALL the people, past, present, future. May God’s angels protect each person in our Military. Ps. 91 11 For He shall give His angels charge over thee.to keep them in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest they dash thy foot against a stone. You shall tread upon the lion and the dragon: the young lion and the dragon shall thou trample under feet. Because he hath set his love upon Me , therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. With long life, will I satisfy him, and show him My Salvation. Amen
Dear God we THANKYOU for establishing and preserving our armed forces as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our army. You have given šŗšø America more abundance than any country in the World. We know as Intercessors it breaks your heart to see the hatred and violence that has overtaken many US cities. We who know truth want to say to you God we are š¢ sorry your great abundance has not been appreciated by so many. Yet you continue to give us new mercies everyday day. It overwhelms me that you continue to shed your Grace and mercy over America . oh Lord in somber humbleness we repent. We pray your Holy Spirit would take the deceitful veil off the eyes of those who do not see YOU God, those who trample over your prosperity, burn our flag and chant death to your chosen Jewish people. All those rioters who have no respect for the authority of ICE or our military or our president- may their evil plans be foiled today. We praise you for all the revivals happening all over the USA. We see the truth of your Holy Word-when the enemy comes in like a flood, YOU raise up a standard. Praise be to you our King and returning Savior
god we ask you to watch over our president and take the evil out of this country. protect our police and all people who lead our country. bring the people out of darkness and into the light and they shall see the truth
