I understand the sacrifices American servicemen and women have made to protect freedom and democracy in my country and around the world.

Our veterans accepted the responsibility to defend America and uphold our values when duty called.

Since the Revolution, eight generations of America's veterans have established an unbroken commitment to freedom.

The willingness of America's veterans to sacrifice for our country has earned them our lasting gratitude.

America's veterans deserve the very best health care because they've earned it.
