Veterans Quotes

Dan Lipinski

Live, Remember, Free

While only one day of the year is dedicated solely to honoring our veterans, Americans must never forget the sacrifices that many of our fellow countrymen have made to defend our country and protect our freedoms.
Randy Neugebauer

Forget, Country, Made

But this Veterans Day, I believe we should do more than sing the praises of the bravery and patriotism that our veterans have embodied in the past. We should take this opportunity to re-evaluate how we are treating our veterans in the present.
Nick Lampson

Patriotism, Past, Bravery

Barbara Bush

Home, Hard, Working

Solomon Ortiz

Women, Men, Today

R. Lee Ermey

Fact, Getting, Veteran

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 M. Granholm

While, Congress, House

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

War, Today, Hard

George H. W. Bush

Good, War, Vietnam

When I was building the Vietnam Memorial, I never once asked the veterans what it was like in the war, because from my point of view, you don't pry into other people's business.
Maya Lin

War, Business, Once

Long, Someone, Done

Dick Durbin

Pay, Disability, List

We can't equate spending on veterans with spending on defense. Our strength is not just in the size of our defense budget, but in the size of our hearts, in the size of our gratitude for their sacrifice. And that's not just measured in words or gestures.
Jennifer Granholm

Strength, Gratitude, Words

It was a requirement by the veterans to list the 57,000 names. We're reaching a time that we'll acknowledge the individual in a war on a national level.

Steve Buyer

Women, Men, Care

War, End, Country
