Honoring Our Veterans (November 2009) PDF Print

In recognition of Veterans Day, I want to express my gratitude to the selfless and remarkable men and women, past and present, who have demonstrated their commitment to our nation by serving and sacrificing in uniform. I want to thank our men and women who have served America so honorably. Those we’ve lost in Afghanistan and Iraq and in the tragic events at Fort Hood last week stand as a stark reminder to the risks our fighting men and women take in order to preserve the freedoms we hold so dear. We must never forget the contributions and sacrifices of those who have made those freedoms possible. They deserve our enduring support and I will continue my work in Washington to ensure that they have access to the benefits and care they deserve.
