“There is an undeniable economic and cultural disconnect between many of those who volunteer to serve and those who choose to remain civilians. But what is more concerning to me is the disconnect between our political leadership that applauds our soldiers and veterans, but then won't provide funding to properly armored vehicles or health care when our servicemen and women come home. You can't send men and women to war without being prepared to take care of them abroad and give them the services they need when they return home.” MenNeedsGivingWarHomeCarePoliticalEconomicReturnMen And WomenPreparedSoldierTake CareHealth CareComing HomeVehicleVolunteerVeteranCiviliansFundingServicemenPolitical Leadership Author:Ruben Gallego

“It is time to acknowledge the extraordinary sacrifice of all of our veterans. While many Massachusetts soldiers served our nation in a period technically dubbed 'peacetime,' they restored American pride in the wake of Vietnam and helped bring a successful end to the Cold War. The service of these men and women was not without cost. There are countless stories of soldiers who served with great distinction only to be denied veteran status after returning home. Every man and woman who volunteered to serve this country should be treated with the same degree of respect, gratitude and dignity.” MenShouldWarEndsCountryStoriesHomeNationsSuccessfulSacrificePrideColdPeriodsGratitudeCostDegreesMen And WomenDignityExtraordinarySoldierEvery ManTreatedAcknowledgeDistinctionVietnamDeniedCold WarVeteranMassachusettsOur VeteransReturning Home Author:Mitt Romney

“The president [Barack Obama] asked for a commitment of, I think, 100,000 jobs for veterans and military spouses over the next couple of years. And we announced during the tour last week that we have gotten more than 60,000 jobs, and we're well on our way to just crashing that goal out of the water, because what businesses are understanding is that these men and women are some of the most highly trained resources that we have in this country.” ThinkingMenWayYearsWellsCountryJobsLastsNextUnderstandingGoalPresidentWaterWeekMilitaryCoupleMen And WomenCommitmentResourcesBarackSpouseVeteranPresident Barack ObamaMilitary Spouse Author:Michelle Obama

“I oppose U.S. military intervention in Iraq. I believe that we should not send troops or engage in air strikes-our nation's military involvement needs to be over. The United States has already spent billions of dollars in Iraq while our nation has endured a crumbling infrastructure, cuts to our social programs, a lack of investment in job training and creation, and sadly, a failure to take care of our veterans. Let's focus our resources at home. Over 4000 men and women have sacrificed their lives for Iraq.
