“As we approach Veterans' Day, we pause to recall the noble service and the high sacrifices of those who have worn the uniform of our Nation. On this day of remembrance, we will rededicate ourselves to those who have dedicated themselves to us. I thank each and every man and woman who has served in every branch of our military. I thank you soldiers for your courage, your character, your strength, and the enduring power of your example. Threatened by terrorists who seek to destroy our way of life, Americans are appreciating anew the blessings of liberty we cherish as well as the heroes who fight, and often die, so we can live in freedom. None have paid a higher price and sacrifice more for our freedom than have our veterans. It is time for us in Congress to learn from them. We must now stand in solidarity like our brave protectors and act to end the lamentable neglect that is our crisis in veterans health care. Every American owes them a debt of gratitude that words cannot repay. And yet our veterans have received more good words than good deeds from this administration.”
