Since the founding of our nation, we have relied on the strength of the men and women who have served as courageous Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen. These millions of volunteers have answered the call of duty so that we may live in freedom. We must honor their courage, dedication, and sacrifice by providing the resources necessary to take care of our veterans who return home from battle.
