Political Quotes

“On Saturday, the Nation celebrates Veterans Day, a day where we honor all those who have served in the Armed Forces. As we pay tribute with ceremonies and parades, we must remember that freedom is not free. Many of our veterans live with the effects of war long after they have been discharged. Mr. Speaker, I recently had the opportunity to learn about a group that is helping combat veterans heal the wounds of war. REBOOT Combat Recovery is a Christian-based program structured in a 12-week course for veterans and their spouses to share their struggles and to begin the healing process. Many of our vets suffer in the form of anger, anxiety, depression, social withdrawal, and, most tragically, too often, suicide. The REBOOT Combat Recovery program is free. It has more than 50 locations in 23 States and more than 1,600 graduates. REBOOT communities are safe, private, and mostly led by veterans. As we honor our veterans this weekend, let us remember that every veteran's story is different. Let us help them find the answers to heal and to recover from the effects of war. ____________________”
