President Obama Commemorates Veterans Day!

President Barack Obama used his last Veterans Day speech to urge Americans to learn from the example of veterans as a divided nation seeks to “forge unity” after the bitter 2016 campaign. And in putting aside differences to work for a common goal, Obama said America has no better example than its veterans. Obama noted that the military is the most diverse institution in the nation, and that when service members take off the uniform they put on "the camouflage of everyday life," serving as teachers, coaches, police officers, firefighters, business owners and role models. "Whenever the world makes you cynical; whenever you seek true humility and true selflessness, look to a veteran," Posted By Persist
