“Veterans are the light at the tip of the candle, illuminating the way for the whole nation. If veterans can achieve awareness, transformation, understanding, and peace, they can share with the rest of society the realities of war. And they can teach us how to make peace with ourselves and each other, so we never have to use violence to resolve conflicts again.” —Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh

"The future of our Armed Services and the future of our country will be integrally linked with how we take care of our veterans." —George Washington
