"As we look to the future, I believe that the strength of our veteran community is our
greatest asset. We have so much to offer. We have lived through adversity, we have faced
challenges that many can’t even imagine, and we’ve come out the other side stronger. It’s
because of that strength that we are STILL SERVING our communities and our nation."
