As President Obama said veterans have done their duty and they ask nothing more than this country, does ours, that we uphold our sacred trust to all who have served, and we will.
No one who has served this Nation should ever find themselves living without care and without hope.
This is not a once and done, or whenever we have a crisis, we do. This is an ongoing set of looks at ourselves.
