Day honors all those who have served and continue to serve our
nation. We now have the largest population of young veterans
since the Vietnam War. We have an obligation to these men and
women who answered their nation's call. We must ensure that
the service and sacrifice of our veterans is never overlooked or
forgotten. To all the veterans and their families, we thank you
