As a veteran myself, I care a great deal about the quality of life of our Missouri veterans, and no veteran should ever be without a home.
I’m pretty upfront about my love and admiration for the military. One of the perks of making movies is that you get to sort of follow your own passions, and I believe quite passionately that we don’t pay enough attention and respect to our veterans. Not just our wounded veterans, but all veterans.
My father was a member of the Dunkirk Veterans Association.
I want to get us out of a place where the veterans are chastising the new artists and vice versa. I think we should all just support each other.
To my mind, a mix of veterans and rookies is number one on the list of ‘things that make a good Avengers team.’
If veterans are saying they have improved after using HBOT, and if veterans services organizations have seen similar success, I say we listen to them.
We need to take care of our veterans. If I’m going to send you away and break you, I’m going to fix you when you come home.
Veterans tend to want to be ultra-prepared. They want to know everything they possibly can before running for Congress. That’s great… but don’t undersell yourself.
I hear daily from Hoosier veterans who are forced to wait months on end for their disability claims to be processed. Unfortunately, this is typical.
My advice is for veterans to seek out mentors, people who are doing what you want to do. You have to decide what you want and have a goal. Don’t worry about how you’re going to do it. Just trust that you’ll get there.
I hope to live long enough to see my surviving comrades march side by side with the Union veterans along Pennsylvania Avenue, and then I will die happy.
It’s kind of interesting on a team sport because you have young players, you have older players, you have veterans. But ultimately, when you step in between those lines, you’re just a player.
We must reject the cynicism that says allowing every eligible vote to be cast and counted is a ‘power grab.’ Americans understand that these are the values our brave men and women in uniform and our veterans risk their lives to defend.
It is my responsibility to always have my ear to the ground on issues affecting the people of our district, and whether it’s supporting the veterans of Michigan’s 8th district or anyone else, I will always do my best to listen and follow through on the needs of folks here.
Under Donald Trump, our deals will be smarter, our soldiers will have what they need, and our veterans will have what they earned. We will secure our borders, protect our nation. In all this, we will be more serious. And when we do, this nation will start winning again.
We have to make sure the Hell the veterans come home from is not the Hell they come back to.
A lot of times, you’re interacting with people for whom you’re one of the very few veterans that they’ve met or had a lot of interactions with, and there’s a temptation for you to feel like you can pontificate about what the experience was or what it meant, and that leads to a lot of nonsense.
Together, with technology as an enabler, we can help our veterans find meaningful civilian careers that match their skills and interest.
Despite all the dysfunction in Washington, I believe that when it comes to helping veterans and keeping our fundamental promises as a country, we can come together and do the right thing.
I say we put a choice card in every veteran’s hands to say, ‘You choose.’ You control your health care. If you want to go to the VA, which most veterans like, go to the VA. But if you want to go outside of the system, here’s your choice card. You go outside of the system.
I never went to war, but I served alongside some real heroes and grew deeply loyal to the service of those who fought and died. To me, as you might guess, the United States flag and National Anthem represent solemn reverence to combat veterans, the fallen and their families.
Our veterans accepted the responsibility to defend America and uphold our values when duty called.
With my He’s a 10 brand, I plan on donating to the disabled veterans that have given so much for our country.
To those seniors, and especially elderly veterans like myself, I want to tell you this: You are not alone, and you having nothing to be ashamed of. If elder abuse happened to me, it can happen to anyone. I want you to know that you deserve better.
My campaign will focus on the core values that matter to the voters of the 5th District – job creation for minority communities, economic growth, criminal justice reform, faith and family, and supporting our active military and veterans.
Veterans report that service dogs help break their isolation. People will often avert their eyes when they see a wounded veteran. But when the veteran has a dog, the same people will come up and say, ‘Hi’ to pet the dog and then strike up a conversation.
As veterans we should be smarter about how we talk about things.
World War I was the deadliest conflict the world had ever known. Veterans Day originated from the American people recognizing that a heavy debt of gratitude was due to the veterans of that brutal conflict.
Unlike public universities and private, not-for-profit colleges, for-profit schools are owned by revenue-seeking businesses often more intent on boosting their bottom line than educating their students. They use hard-sell tactics to recruit prospective students, and veterans have become particular targets.
The thing about veterans, they know how to challenge the establishment. They’re not afraid to take on the people in control. They’re not afraid to put people over politics or over their political party.
Sitting on the House Armed Services Committee is a great responsibility and an opportunity to represent not only the thousands of veterans in the 33rd Congressional District of Texas that I represent in Dallas-Fort Worth but also the active-duty men and women of our armed forces, national guard, and reserve components.
I keep seeing the headline on articles that says something like ‘Mary Gauthier Helping Our Veterans.’ It’s troubling – and it’s condescending. Whatever I’m doing as a songwriter to help them tell their stories, they’re giving it back to me double, triple, quadruple.
The greatest brotherhood, sisterhood that I was ever a part of are veterans.
We watch our sons go to war, disagree with the rationale for sending them, loathe the men who ordered them to battle, and then, when the veterans come home, beg and plead with the local V.A. to ensure they have access to proper care.
Senator Cleland was a passionate patriot with a big heart for our veterans, and he always put the people of Georgia first.
Logan was talking about the Civil War, which claimed the lives of more than 500,000 Americans. He wanted to provide Civil War veterans with a day to pay respects to their fellow soldiers who did not live to see the end of the war, without losing a day’s pay.
We must do everything we can to help our service members and veterans transition into civilian life once they return home, and that means preparing them for the tough job market.
Congress needs to give the VA every tool possible to meet the mental health challenges facing our veterans before they get to the point of danger.
In fact, our monthly trade deficit figure is so huge it equals the entire annual budget of our Department of Veterans Affairs. Veterans fought to make us free from foreign tyranny, but the new tyranny is taking a different form.
America owed its military renaissance in the 1980s and 1990s to Vietnam. Veterans like Norman Schwartzkopf, Colin Powell, Alfred Grey, Charles Krulak, and Wesley Clark returned home angry and ashamed at their defeat and rebuilt all-volunteer, professional armed forces from the ground up.
Veterans should not lose the benefits they’ve earned through their service due to circumstances out of their control.
The cost of healthcare, caring for our veterans, and draining the swamp are among a few of the issues I have been tackling for Hoosiers in Washington.
When I used to get the ball on the wing, I’d go fast and I’d go right. Veterans in this league, they watch film. They’re definitely going to strategize. They know you like to go right. They know what your moves are.
Despite all the public hand-wringing about negative advertising, political veterans will tell you that it persists because, more often than not, it works. But tearing down the other guy has another attraction: It can be a substitute for building much of a case for what the mudslinger will do once in office.
Respecting our veterans includes providing them the ways and means they so desperately need to reintegrate into our lives and serve us again as productive members of our civilian community.
I try to stay involved with veterans’ issues. I work with some veterans charities.
There were some great veterans who I learned so much from and who helped make me the best I could be as a player.
I hope that on Veterans Day people think about those who protect us from the evils out there.
I don’t believe there’s a red state in America where people believe you should cut Medicare, Social Security and veterans’ benefits rather than doing away with corporate tax loopholes.
Veterans Day is a time to reflect and renew our commitment to ensure our military heroes have the tools to reintegrate successfully back to civilian life.
