70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor

Today marks the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor and the beginning of U.S. involvement in the Second World War.  We can never forget the victims of the attack on our soil or the sacrifice our soldiers and their families made to preserve freedom and democracy during this time of unprecedented challenge.

Let us also continue to honor our commitment to our wounded veterans from all wars. Today, there are tens of thousands of wounded veterans from the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and we have a moral obligation to provide them with the best medical care available.  Congress must not only fully support the Veterans Administration but also ensure that our veterans have employment opportunities when they return home from fighting overseas.  That is why I supported extending the GI bill and increasing veterans’ benefits in the 111th Congress and will continue to be a strong advocate for veterans and their families.

I hope you will join me by taking time out of your day to remember the sacrifices of all our soldiers and their families. These brave men and women deserve our respect and support.
