On the recordFebruary 17, 2011
I stand today to support wounded warrior rehabilitation programs that support our brave military men and women who have sacrificed parts of their body for our freedom; men and woman who have sacrificed so much that today we can stand here on this floor and offer our remarks. These programs provide life-saving, life-changing rehabilitation services to thousands of injured servicemen and -women. We must keep our promise to our troops and veterans, consistent with the Pledge to America, which allows exceptions related to government funding so that we can honor our commitment to those who have served. We all know in this Chamber that we can never repay what our military men and women have sacrificed for us and for our freedom. These programs are a small way to support those who have sacrificed so much to keep us safe and free. I ask that you consider the needs and the well-being of our injured servicemen and -women.
