Billings Gazette – Remembrance, honor: Caring for veterans and their families is a year-round duty

11/11/14

About 75 people — most of them veterans — gathered at the Rimrock Auto Arena at MetraPark for a Veterans Day celebration Tuesday on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month to remember and honor those who have served or are serving in the nation’s armed forces.

...

Representatives of Montana’s congressional delegation — Sens. Jon Tester and John Walsh, both Democrats, and Rep. Steve Daines, a Republican — delivered messages from their bosses.

In his letter, Tester, a member of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, said that veterans “have earned everlasting benefits and everlasting care.”

Walsh, the only Iraqi combat veteran serving in the Senate, urged Montanans to “honor sacrifice with more than political rhetoric.” Daines wrote that the nation can help pay off its debt to veterans “by re-integrating them into civilian life once they come home.”
