Susan Davis said "A few weeks ago, I visited the Navy's Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command in San Diego. As I spoke with SPAWAR employees, I was proud, but not surprised, to learn that the majority of them were veterans. In fact, this happens almost every time I speak to a group of Federal workers. Veterans represent more than 25 percent of the entire Federal Government workforce--so many of whom sacrificed for our country in Iraq and Afghanistan. After making the difficult transition to civilian life, none of them expected to be told that they cannot come to work. Let our veterans and the rest of the Federal workforce do their jobs. The best way to serve veterans and honor our promise to them is to reopen the entire government without delay." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
