President Obama's Weekly Address 5/28/16: Remembering Our Fallen Heroes

WASHINGTON, DC — In this week’s address, President Obama solemnly reflected on the meaning of Memorial Day and recognized the sacrifices made by the American warriors who never made it back home. Though the President stressed that citizens should thank active-duty troops and veterans every day of the year, he emphasized that Memorial Day is reserved for remembering the unselfish men and women who gave their lives in defense of the nation. In addition to reflecting on the unpayable debt owed to fallen servicemembers, Americans should also make an effort to offer support to the families of their countrymen who gave everything. Whether it’s hiring a veteran, reaching out to a grieving family member, or simply pausing for a moment of silent thanks, the President wants the country to join him in an act of remembrance during the Memorial weekend.

Chris Smith turns his back on America’s Veterans Once Again!

 For Immediate Release:
April 29, 2014

Long time Congressional GOP member Chris Smith has once again shown his true colors on the issue of Veteran’s rights. By supporting the Ryan budget, Smith has helped his fellow Republicans cut pension benefits for current Veterans and active duty military. This is yet another blow by Congressman Smith against those who have fought and sacrificed so much for this great nation.
