America’s disabled veterans answered our country’s call, and when their time in uniform is done, our country must stand with them. – John Delaney
You’d have to go a long way to find someone who was more proud and grateful for what our veterans have done for all of us. – Jim Davis
As a cosigner of the Veterans’ Bill of Rights, I’m committed to making sure that veterans’ issues remain a top priority in Congress. – John Delaney
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. – John Delaney
I took every chance I could to meet with U.S. soldiers. I talked with them and read the books they gave me about the war. I decided I needed to return to my country and join with them – active duty soldiers and Vietnam Veterans in particular – to try and end the war. – Jane Fonda
Many of the patients in military and veterans hospitals require long stays, which can place a large financial hardship on families who don’t live near the hospital, which is very common. – John Delaney
While many employers do the right thing and provide flexible schedules for disabled veterans, I felt that it was important to provide all disabled veterans with a solution that would help them have access to medical leave. Here’s how our bill works: we accelerate the eligibility process for disabled veterans. – John Delaney
No matter how bad any situation, cynicism has no positive impact. Watching the news, you might notice that cynicism and victimhood often seem to go hand-in-hand, but not for veterans. – James Mattis
One of the key issues all veterans face is making the transition to a civilian career, and for veterans who need extra medical attention, this can be even more difficult. – John Delaney
Veterans’ issues are quite close to my heart. I find it quite hard to talk about, actually. – John Oliver
In Congress, while the House’s proposed defense budget calls for significant increases, it also cuts 11 billion dollars from veterans spending – including healthcare and disability pay. Be clear: we can’t equate spending on veterans with spending on defense. – Jennifer Granholm
What do we have for veterans? Government-run health care. I understand that. Congressmen and senators… they get five choices of government-run health care. Why should a congressman and senator get anything more than a regular citizen does? Why are they privileged and the rest of us aren’t? – Jesse Ventura
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. – James Longstreet
There’s an air of mystery around the Masons, but the reality is that they’re mostly a bunch of veterans getting drunk in a lodge that they’ve built to look like a temple. It’s just a bunch of guys trying to get away from their wives. – Jimmy Kimmel
There is no room for military people, including our veterans, to see themselves as victims, even if so many of our countrymen are prone to relish that role. – James Mattis
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. – Charles B. Rangel
Legislation on Lyme disease, weather patterns, helping farmers, helping veterans – these are not partisan issues. – Chris Gibson
Our veterans accepted the responsibility to defend America and uphold our values when duty called. – Bill Shuster
If our goal is to provide health care to our veterans, why does it need to be in the bricks and mortar of bureaucracy of the VA? Why can’t you give them an insurance card and let them go to a health care provider of their choice? – Bill Flores
America’s veterans and troops serving abroad today fought hard to preserve our red, white and blue, from the Revolutionary War to today’s Global War Against Terrorism, and Congress’ action today is appropriate for one of our most sacred symbols. – Bill Shuster
As the days went on, I didn’t mind the games. In fact, I looked forward to them. That was the easiest part of all. I couldn’t wait to get to the ballpark I’d be the first one there and I was willing to do anything. I think that’s why the veterans liked me. – Al Kaline
It’s said that you can tell a lot about someone by who opposes them. In the case of liberal pundit Bill Maher – a man who called America’s actions cowardly in the wake of 9/11 and who mocked WWII veterans who wanted to visit the monument built in their honor – I wear his disapproval of me as a badge of honor. – Blake Farenthold
For our veterans to have to wait long periods of time to receive care is not only unacceptable to us, but to elected officials as well. – Chuck Norris
As a judge, when I saw veterans in legal trouble, I created the state’s first veterans court to help them get treatment and get back on their feet. – Ann Callis
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. – Bernie Sanders
It is outrageous to know that security procedures are apparently so lax at the Department of Veterans Affairs that a single bureaucrat had the ability to put the personal information of over 26 million Veterans at risk for sale to the highest criminal bidder. – Bob Ney
Moral Injury is differentiated from PTSD in that it directly relates to guilt and shame veterans experience as a result of committing actions that go against their moral codes. Therapists who study and treat moral injury have found that no amount of medication can relieve the pain of trying to live with these moral burdens. – Chuck Norris
I was a telemarketer in my senior year at high school. I had to sell prosthetic limbs to paralysed veterans. I was making 150 bucks a week and it was horrible. – Big Sean
