Memorial Day 2026 

I hope you had a thoughtful, meaningful, and positive Memorial Day. In honor of the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, we wanted to take a moment to recognize the mortgage companies serving our nation’s servicemembers through VA lending.

Using RETR data, we ranked the Top 10 lenders by VA loan count across the past several years. One thing stands out clearly: Veterans United, Freedom Mortgage, Rocket Mortgage, and Navy Federal Credit Union have consistently remained at the top, reflecting sustained commitment to serving military families and veterans nationwide.
