Vet gets DOGE’d! Fired via email, VA employee and Army Veteran speaks out

Luke Graziani, is a U.S. Army Veteran with 4 deployments to Iraq and AFG. After checking his email on February 13, he cringed after reading he was being fired from his public affairs officer role at The Bronx VA Hospital. He shares how despite having stellar performance reviews from his supervisor, the letter from DOGE cited “job performance” as one of the reasons for his termination. Graziani also describes how this move will force other VA staff (who don’t even work at the hospital) to pick up the slack, and how there is still no official word on whether his supervisors appeal for an exemption will be heard, or if he'll ever be allowed return to work.
