“Spring comes with joyous laugh, and song, and sunshine, and the burnt sacrifice of the over-ripe boot and the hoary overshoe. The cowboy and the new milch cow carol their roundelay. So does the veteran hen. The common egg of commerce begins to come forth into the market at a price where it can be secured with a step-ladder, and all nature seems tickled.” DoeSeemsSongCommonStepsLaughingSacrificeSpringSunshineEggsCowsBootsCommerceCowboyVeteranLaddersJoyousRipeSecuredCarolsHens Author:Edgar Wilson Nye

“Yes and no. Because America has only about 1 percent of the population serving in the military, it is hard for many civilians to understand the sacrifices military families make. However, my experience is that after the Vietnam War, the public learned that they should support the military whether or not they support the war. You've seen that outpouring of support for the veterans of both Iraq and Afghanistan.” ShouldWarHardAmericaSupportSacrificeMilitaryPercentIraqPopulationServingAfghanistanVietnamVeteranCiviliansVietnam WarYes And NoMilitary FamilyServing In The Military Author:Steve Stivers

“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
