but, they may be a beginning. Teddy Roosevelt was right when he said:

A man who is good enough to shed blood for his country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards.

Here's to fallen comrades, and to those who have thus far survived as well. May they and their families receive not only our thanks and everlasting gratitude, but also that ever promised square deal.

I hope you can appreciate the following video tributes:

Vietnam Vets.

All Vets.

Just some of those who gave all in Iraq and Afghanistan

Some were mothers, daughters, sisters, wives.

And those still in harm's way.

How different the new order would be if we could consult the veteran instead of the politician.
