There have been veterans in this country of ours since the first shot was fired for our independence. Veterans of the battles and wars that have shaped our nation and, in some cases, shaped the world and the course of human history. Veterans live in virtually every country in every corner of the world. There have been veterans in this country of ours since the first shot was fired for our independence.

Veterans Day honors and pays tribute to all of America's veterans, regardless of service or era. They are all heroes. But there is nothing good about war for those who have known the heat and hate and horror of battle. Only causes can be good. And in this war, we found a cause to justify the greatest sacrifice.
