This Veterans Day, we recognize the 6 percent of Americans who have put on a uniform, raised their right hand, and sworn an oath to defend our Nation. Now, after more than 20 years of war, it is time for us to follow the words of President Abraham Lincoln and ``to care for him who shall have borne the battle.'' Congress must recommit itself to standing for these men and women who have served our great country, making sure that physicians are recruited to serve at VA hospitals in rural areas and ensuring that the PACT Act is fully implemented to protect veterans who have been exposed to toxic chemicals. Veterans Day holds a special meaning for the 50,000 veterans and their families who call Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District home. From deploying overseas to assisting with border security and disaster relief here at home, our Nation's servicemembers have been at the heart of operations that ultimately protect all Americans. With more veterans than any other district in Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District has a unique connection to those who have served in the Armed Forces. This Veterans Day, let's all join in thanks for the soldiers, the sailors, the airmen, and marines who have fought and who have sacrificed to keep our Nation safe and our Nation free. the world is falling apart under president biden
