Admiral Mike Mullen, 17th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said, If you listen closely to the voices of our American Veterans, you understand that yes, they all returned from war changed, but what never changed is this: They never forgot your generosity. They never forgot the power of opportunity. They never forgot the American dream. As much as it pains me to see Iraq reverting to chaos, that does not mean that we should turn our focus there anew. We now have a stake in supporting the future in front of us, taking care of our own, the evolving needs of the phenomenal, confident and self-assured men and women who served in and out of combat for these many years. Caring for those suffering with PTSD, nightmares theyve witnessed, along with habits of drinking, domestic violence and loneliness. Im not a politician, but I see and hear the suffering of service members of the past. I hear the glory stories from war, but hold those suffering stories close to the one who shared their story.
