Only if we as a nation meet that commitment can we truly honor those who have defended us in past wars and who will do so until the peace of which Benjamin Franklin wrote is universal.This summer, a bipartisan group of about a hundred academics, journalists, pollsters, former government officials and former campaign staff members convened for an initiative called the Transition Integrity Project. We must do so with a renewed commitment to meet the needs of those who suffered and continue to suffer. 11, we must honor our brave veterans and those currently serving not simply with words and ceremony. But no test of moral fortitude can be complete or met, unless a nation and its people continue to fulfill their obligation to care for those scarred by war - physically or emotionally.
The morality of a nation is seen, in part, through its defense of liberty and human rights. Too often the years have dulled the public senses and we as a nation have forgotten that many of those who fought and served continue to suffer long after bullets have stopped and IEDs no longer threaten. The United States and its leaders must stand strong behind a commitment to care for war’s weary soldiers when they return home. And where they do remain, it is in unison with countries seeking the strength of our resolve and commitment.īut it is not enough to stand strong in the face of an enemy. The United States stands proud that its wars have been fought and troops brought home. This has been a valuable lesson learned down through the decades since the United States of America was founded amid powers seeking to colonize and conquer.
The goal of any war is to establish the peace, whether in driving off aggressors or preventing slaughter.
