The women and men who have fought and sacrificed for our country are heroes, and the rest of us owe them an unpayable debt. Fulfilling our promises to our veterans and military families, caregivers, and survivors is critical to our national security, because it is how we will ensure that future generations continue to volunteer to serve. We learned what it really means to be part of a military family the year that Beau deployed to Iraq with his National Guard unit. And yet, Jill and I were constantly in awe when visiting with wounded service members at Christmas or hosting veterans in our home for dinners, at the pride our military members and veterans feel in their service, and at their matchless sense of duty. I will never treat you or your families with anything less than the honor you deserve.
