Van Hollen Statement in Honor of Veterans Day
Rockville,
Nov 11, 2011 -
Today Maryland Congressman Chris Van Hollen issued the following statement in honor of Veterans Day:
“Today we pause to honor and celebrate the brave men and women who fought for the safety and freedom of our nation. Our veterans answered the call of duty and have put their lives at risk in defense of our liberty. They reflect the best of our country, and we must do everything we can to honor their valor and incomparable commitment.
“Our work does not begin and cannot end as we reflect on Veterans Day. Part of honoring their work is reaffirming our commitment to providing for our troops, veterans, and their families. Congress must continue to do everything it can to ensure veterans have job opportunities, and this week we made important progress on President Obama’s VOW to Hire Heroes Act. We must also continue to give them access to the very best health care and the chance to receive a quality education.
“Honoring those who have served our nation is a bipartisan commitment that must remain in focus all year long. I will continue to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to keep the promises we have made to our troops and veterans.”
