Fulfilling Our Duty to America’s Veterans.  A key component of keeping America secure is protecting the rights of our veterans. Since the time of Lincoln, Americans have made and kept a sacred commitment to those who served this nation in the defense of freedom.  As a new generation of veterans return from Iraq and Afghanistan, Democrats are united to fulfill that promise.  We will ensure that all veterans get the health care they deserve while also expanding the availability and accessibility of mental health care.  We will ensure that no veteran is forced to choose between a retirement and disability check.  We will also make the same commitment to the soldiers of today that was made to past veterans with a 21st Century GI Bill.
