Chairman’s Corner

I often wonder if we do enough to honor our veterans. These are, after all, the men and women who, at great peril to themselves, put on the uniform of our country and defend all that it stands for. They don’t do it for the gratification of their fellow Americans; instead they do it for love of country and an overwhelming sense of duty. Just because their call to arms is not with the expectation of any repayment or gratitude, it does not mean we can’t find ways to celebrate their service. We have an obligation to our veterans to provide for them with the care and support they need to live full lives. Veterans Day is a great opportunity for all Americans to take part in the celebration of our nation’s most vital resource, our servicemembers, veterans, and their families. But to truly and fully appreciate our veterans, we need to honor them 365 days a year, and not just on November 11.

Happy Birthday USMC!

The Marine Corps is celebrating its 237th birthday this weekend. Thank you to all the men and women who have served in this elite force. Please watch this birthday video, produced by the Marine Corps to commemorate the special occasion. Semper Fidelis.

Running for Veterans

Former Marine Corps Sgt. J. Brendan O’Toole will be running across America to raise money for veterans. You can read more here about O’Toole’s service and what inspired him to put aside a year of his life to help our veterans as they return home.

A Great Cause

Earlier this week in anticipation of Veterans Day, Chairman Jeff Miller sat down with MSN to discuss the issues facing the veterans’ community today. The interview is available on MSN’s new “causes” page, aimed at raising awareness to a variety of issues facing America today.

Thoughts on this Veterans Day

As Chairman Miller does every month, he penned an op-ed in Wreaths Across America’s newsletter. This month’s article is dedicated to Veterans Day and how it remains vital that we continue to increase our support for veterans. Wreaths Across America will take place on December 15 this year. Committee Member, Dr. Phil Roe, a veteran himself, also shares his thoughts on this Veterans Day. Read more here.
