Veterans Day-2015

       President Obama gave a speech to a large crowd at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia yesterday, Veterans Day.   Mant active duty members of the armed services were in attendance.  Members of veteran's group such as VFW, American Legion, Disabled American Veterans, and AmVets were also well represented.
      As he has said on 7 other veterans Days, we as a country owe a lot to the men and women who have served their country in time of war.  He also acknowledged that the VA has fallen short of its goals to provide care for those veterans who need help after their service has been completed.  He emphasized the ongoing need to ensure that all veterans can find good care at any VA facility.
     It was one of Obama's best speeches since he took over the White House 7 years ago.
