Samuel Goode said "I rise to thank the men and women in the United States Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard for serving our Nation in Iraq and Afghanistan and around the world. They are honorably and bravely fighting terrorists overseas in order to protect American families at home. One way we can say ``thank you'' to these brave men and women is to adopt a Veterans appropriations bill, stand-alone, with a unanimous or near unanimous vote. It does not need to be wrapped up into something else. We need to send a loud and clear ``thank you'' to our veterans in a veterans-only bill. Let's do it. Let's vote it up and say a great ``thank you'' before Veterans Day to our veterans." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
