“The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive the Veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation.” ‒ George Washington
Today is Veterans Day, and I’m hoping that the incoming Congress will remember the words of our first President & seek to expand health care and other benefits for our veterans rather than trying to reduce them. Americans are fond of saying “freedom isn’t free”, but we seem to stumble again and again when it comes time to pay for the damage war has wrought. Appreciate our veterans every day, and in every way.
