“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.

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
