Blickwedel, a VA VET Center counselor, fought valiantly to protect veterans, their families and counselors from the VA’s misguided, harmful and unethical clinical performance policies, which turned patients into numbers and severely compromised the mental health and welfare of both Veterans and the counselors who care for them. 

Despite enduring the unjust and toxic retaliation tactics inflicted on him by VA officials, Blickwedel marched steadfastly on, determined to expose and correct the callous abuse and misconduct perpetrated by VA management.
