Eighty-three (83) years ago, on July 21, 1930, President Herbert Hoover signed Executive Order 5398 to officially establish the Veterans Administration and initiated the second consolidation of federal veterans programs in American history. The executive order was ordered by Congress three weeks earlier, on July 3, 1930 in Public Law 71-536, to consolidate the U.S. Pension Bureau and National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers (the first system of federal hospitals-homes for Civil War volunteer soldiers) with the Veterans Bureau. The Veterans Administration went into full effect on July 1, 1931.
