"The disturbing scene of returning soldiers left without care is a stark reminder that America is a nation bound by mutual obligations and shared responsibility. We owe veterans care not because they can pay for it nor because they are heroes but--as their sacrifices remind us--because members of a society are obligated to serve and protect each other."
