Wasn't sure of religion or hometown.

[edit] inducodyconradcted

I have no idea what is meant by that word. It is not even close to having the same spelling as any real English words I know of. Perhaps they meant "inducted?" In good faith, I'll leave it as is for the moment. 18.96.6.79 (talk) 23:06, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] POV part removed

Hello all,

As I was updating this article since the new Sec. was sworn in, I've removed this bit:

Acting Secretary of Veterans Affairs Gordon H. Mansfield is the U.S. government’s principal advocate for veterans and directs the nation’s second largest Cabinet Department, responsible for a nationwide system of health care services, benefits programs, and national cemeteries for America’s veterans and dependents. With a budget of more than $70 billion for fiscal year 2005, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) employs approximately 230,000 people at facilities nationwide.

This sounds like bragging one would find in a press release or official bio, not an encyclopedia article. - Thanks, Hoshie 20:38, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
