I know we say this frequently, but every day we should honor the men and women who have served our Nation in uniform. Every day we should have in our thoughts and prayers those who are currently in harm's way defending America's freedom. We want to make sure we do everything we can to make sure they have the support of this Nation to complete their mission safely and return to their families safely. So I take this time to express the appreciation of this Senator, on behalf of the people of Maryland, to the men and women who have served our Nation, who are our veterans, their families, and those who are currently serving our Nation in the military service.

Our men and women in our Armed Forces have served our Nation very proudly. We need to show our appreciation by words and deeds, and I know I speak for the Members of this body that we need to make sure we provide the very best in health care to those who are returning from Iraq and Afghanistan and to those who have served our Nation. I have visited and seen firsthand our soldiers who have returned and how they are being treated, and I tell you we need to keep up this commitment.…”
