We are telling veterans they must sacrifice to pay for the pet projects and contracts to campaign donors of powerful members of Congress.
There is nothing nobler than risking your life for your country.
It asserts that sacrificing one's life in defense or service of their country is the highest and most honorable act, emphasizing the noble and selfless nature of such an action.
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.
