To honor those that have served in the military this Veterans Day I put
forth a quote by Jennifer Granholm, former Governor of the State of
Michigan from 2003-2010.
She says the following in a blog post on May
26, 2012 when discussing congressional funding for veterans. "Be Clear:
we can't equate spending on veterans with spending on defense. Our
strength is not just in the size of our defense budget, but in the size
of our hearts, in the size of our gratitude for their sacrifice. And
that's not just measured in words or gestures."
Let us remember that it
is our obligation to not only honor our veterans but to take care of
them as well. As all of us know, we have a lot of work still to do to
fulfill that obligation.
Happy Veterans Day 2015.
