Thank you to all those who have served in the Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, Marines and Navy for their service.
As our nation honors all veterans on this day, I want to recognize 20 veterans who have overcome their disabilities and earned a place on Team USA as archers, runners, cyclists, swimmers, rowers and soccer players in the 2012 Paralympic Games. We appreciate these veteran Paralympic competitors not for their disabilities but for their achievements. These athletes are among the millions of veterans who have overcome the daunting challenges of transitioning back to civilian life.
