Let's also ask actors/actresses, professional athletes, hedge fund CEOs, banking CEOs, reality TV "stars", cable news con-men/women, and the like to pay a little more in taxes so we can strengthen the post 9/11 GI Bill, invest in infrastructure which would mean jobs for some veterans, strengthen healthcare for veterans and their families, and simply put, let's build a stronger country for these soldiers to come home to.
Support the soldiers.
Thank you veterans.

"Life Is What Happens To You When Your Busy Making Other Plans" John Lennon
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
Written by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae

Thank you, dad, for fighting the good fight - over there as a young man, and here, at the end of your fine life.
Agree...
Grandfather served in WW1, and 3 Uncles in WW2...my 1 uncle I just found out he served...none ever talked about the war. Could not imagine what any soldier goes through...brave men and women.

I feel like they have been forgotten
They have been forgotten. "Celebrities" and Donald Trump's Twitter account are more important.
I've lost some friends who are vets and I don't mean they passed.
