I watched the 26th annual Memorial Day Concert and was pleased to learn that an important memorial opened on 10/5/2014. Now the depth of the sacrifice by disabled veterans and the impact on their families becomes a part of our collective conscience and national dialogue.
Today, let us remember the words of President Obama as he dedicated the Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial:
“With this memorial we commemorate, for the first time, the two battles our disabled veterans have fought, the battle over there and the battle here at home,”
“This memorial tells us what we must do when our wounded veterans set out on that long 
road of recovery, we need to move heaven and earth to make sure they get every single benefit, every single bit of care that they have earned; they deserve.”
