#Private James Joseph Daly
Text
#OTD in 1920 – Following a mutiny in India by soldiers of the Connaught Rangers in protest at events in Ireland, Private James Daly is court-martialled and executed by firing squad.
The Connaught Rangers (‘The Devil’s Own’) was an Irish regiment of the British Army originally raised in 1793 as the 88th Regiment of Foot (Connaught Rangers), which gained a reputation both for indiscipline and for its prowess as shock troops and street fighters with the bayonet while serving under the Duke of Wellington during the Peninsular War in Spain.
It was one of eight Irish regiments…

Page 20: Cover Story -- Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip: their final farewell -- the queen and her husband Philip have already made preparations for how they will say their final goodbyes to each other and it's truly heartbreaking -- the monarch is 94 and Philip is 99 and they've been married for 73 years and they're all too aware that their time left together could be counted in months or even weeks and they also know the world will be watching when either of them passes away so they have already planned how they will handle that moment -- when it comes to saying goodbye to the other, no one expects either of them to show much emotion in public -- now that they've both been vaccinated Philip will return to his Sandringham estate where he retired in 2017 while Elizabeth will go back to her duties at Buckingham Palace and in all likelihood the couple will say goodbye in private at that time in case either of them pass away quickly and the other can't get to their side in time

Veteran Quotes
Official Website: Veteran Quotes
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();
• “America’s Cold War veterans deserve every honor we can bestow upon them for their hard work and dedication to keeping our nation safe,”. “The Cold War Service Medal would allow military service members, veterans, and their families to receive the recognition and honor they rightfully deserve. I will continue to work with my colleagues to ensure our veterans receive the support and care they and their families need. It’s the least we can do as a grateful nation.” – Blanche Lincoln
• A broadsheet obituarist once pointed out to me that veteran soldiers die by rank. First to go are the generals, admirals and air marshals, then the brigadiers, then a bit of a gap and the colonels and wing commanders and passed-over majors, then a steady trickle of captains and lieutenants. As they get older and rarer, so the soldiers are mythologised and grow ever more heroic, until finally drummer boys and under-age privates are venerated and laurelled with honours like ancient field marshals. There is something touching about that. – A. A. Gill
• A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself. – Joseph Campbell
• About a veteran player thrown out trying to steal second: There was larceny in his heart, but his legs were honest. – Arthur Baer
• After several years in the league, when a player becomes a vested veteran in the NFL, they play under a different set of rules. For instance, if you cut a vested veteran mid-season and they don’t get picked up by another team, you owe them the remainder of their salary. – Brendan Daly
• Alice thought, No. It wasn’t the War and the disgruntled veterans; it wasn’t the droves and droves of colored people flocking to paychecks and streets full of themselves. It was the music. The dirty, get-on-down music the women sang and the men played and both danced to, close and shamelesss or apart and wild…It made you do unwise disorderly things. Just hearing it was like violating the law. – Toni Morrison
• All of my high school male teachers were WWII and/or Korean War veterans. They taught my brothers and me the value of service to our country and reinforced what our dad had shown us about the meaning of service.- Oliver North
• America united with a handful of troops, or without a single soldier, exhibits a more forbidding posture to foreign ambition than America disunited, with a hundred thousand veterans ready for combat. – James Madison
• America, we cannot turn back. Not with so much work to be done. Not with so many children to educate, and so many veterans to care for. Not with an economy to fix and cities to rebuild and farms to save. Not with so many families to protect and so many lives to mend. America, we cannot turn back. We cannot walk alone. At this moment, in this election, we must pledge once more to march into the future. Let us keep that promise – that American promise – and in the words of Scripture hold firmly, without wavering, to the hope that we confess. – Barack Obama
• America’s veterans embody the ideals upon which America was founded more than 229 years ago. – Steve Buyer
• Among gardeners, enthusiasm and experience rarely exist in equal measures. The beginner dreams of home-grown bouquets and baskets of ripe fruit, the veteran of many seasons has learned to expect slugs, mildew, and frost. – Roger Swain
• and suddenly it hits you: Human skin is actually made up of billions of tiny units of protoplasm, called “cells”! And what is even more interesting, the ones on the outside are all dying! This is a fact. Your skin is like an aggressive modern corporation, where the older veteran cells, who have finally worked their way to the top and obtained offices with nice views,are constantly being shoved out the window head first, without so much as a pension plan,by younger hotshot cells moving up from below. – Dave Barry
• And when they have done their job, America must look after and honor its veterans. – Adam Schiff
• Any veteran can tell you it is already hard enough to see a doctor down at the VA and get the health care they were promised when they signed up to serve this country. – Nick Lampson
• As a combat veteran, I know the cost of war. – Tulsi Gabbard
• As a soldier and combat veteran, I believe American military forces should only be used in the defense and furtherance of our nation’s vital interests. – Joni Ernst
• As a veteran, I believe we have a responsibility to take care of all our men and women who have served – and I will fight to fix the crisis at the Veterans Administration caused by negligent leadership in Washington. – Joni Ernst
• As any war veteran will tell you, there is a vast difference between preparing for battle and actually facing battle for the first time. You can be told that reading Victor Hugo will sap your will to live, but you can’t understand what it means until you’ve read a few chapters and your eyes are glazed over and someone has to revive you with a defibrillator. – Kevin Hearne
• As first time director, though, you’re like a new officer coming up to be in charge of very serious veterans, and you’re always going to have guys looking at each other for the first day until they realize you’re not screwing around. – William Monahan
• As the days went on, I didn’t mind the games. In fact, I looked forward to them. That was the easiest part of all. I couldn’t wait to get to the ballpark I’d be the first one there and I was willing to do anything. I think that’s why the veterans liked me. – Al Kaline
• As the field of coaching finds its way to becoming a mature discipline, James Flaherty’s dedicated field research, study, and sound articulation offers a definitive ground and a sensibility of genuine care. At the core this book offers a way of thinking about human beings that makes action and practice central to learning. This is a no-nonsense, generous, pragmatic book that belongs on the shelf every coach, novice or veteran. – Richard Strozzi-Heckler
• As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. – John F. Kennedy
• As we try to compete in this global marketplace, we need to rebuild our infrastructure. We need to rebuild our schools. We need to make sure that teachers and first responders and veterans who are coming home from serving our country so proudly have jobs waiting for them.- Valerie Jarrett
• At Concerned Veterans for America, we’ve made the case that the defense budget could be targeted for spending reform, but in a targeted fashion that genuinely changes unsustainable spending trajectories while preserving U.S. defense capacity. – Pete Hegseth
• At the same time, we’re going to take care of our military and we’re going to take care of our great, great, great veterans. – Donald Trump

• Because all of us believe and understand in the fabric of the common bond of why we call ourselves American is to care for the men and women who wear the uniform; and when they take off the uniform, we care for them when they are veterans. – Steve Buyer
• Because Vietnam was not a declared war, the veterans are not even eligible for the G. I. Bill of Rights with respect to education or anything. – Ronald Reagan
• Better than honor and glory, and History’s iron pen, Was the thought of duty done and the love of his fellow-men. – Richard Watson Gilder
• Brave rifles! Veterans! You have been baptized in fire and blood and have come out steel! – Winfield Scott
• But despite their heroic acts, the Vietnam Veterans of America continued to struggle to establish a combat badge in honor of these brave pilots and medics. – Tim Holden
• But this Veterans Day, I believe we should do more than sing the praises of the bravery and patriotism that our veterans have embodied in the past. We should take this opportunity to re-evaluate how we are treating our veterans in the present. – Nick Lampson
• By cutting critical domestic programs such as education, health, environmental protection, and veterans’ services, this budget reveals misplaced priorities. – Dan Lipinski
• By interviewing at least one veteran, you can preserve memories that otherwise might be lost. My uncle was a downed fighter pilot and P.O.W. in World War II, and I am looking forward to recording his story for inclusion in the project. – Spencer Bachus
• Caring for our veterans is the duty of a grateful nation. Unfortunately, the Bush administration and congressional Republicans have not lived up to this duty.- Patty Murray
• Chancellor [Angela] Merkel is perhaps the only leader left among our closest allies that was there when I arrived. So in some ways we are now the veterans of many challenges over the last eight years. – Barack Obama
• Charles Barkley taught me a lot when I played against him. How he would use his body or use his dribble to get people in there and all that stuff. Veteran moves. – Tim Duncan
• City’s effort to end homelessness among veterans is different than how things used to be in L.A. – John Carlos Frey
• Congress should stop treating veterans like they’re asking for a hand out when it comes to the benefits they were promised, and they should realize that, were it not for these veterans, there would be nothing to hand out. – Nick Lampson
• Disabled veterans are not a bargaining chip. – Jim Bridenstine
• Does Trumpcare protect seniors and families? Does Trumpcare – is Trumpcare good for our veterans? Is there any caring in Trumpcare at all? – Nancy Pelosi
• During their college years the oarsmen put in terrbily long hours, often showing up at the boathouse at 6:00am for preclass practices. Both physically and psychologically, they were separated from their classmates. Events that seemed earth-shattering to them– for example, who was demoted from the varsity to the junior varsity — went almost unnoticed by the rest of the students. In many ways they were like combat veterans coming back from a small, bitter and distant war, able to talk only to other veterans. – David Halberstam
• Every # Veteran is a hero. – Joe Walsh
• First, separate ground, sea and air warfare is gone forever. This lesson we learned in World War II. I lived that lesson in Europe. Others lived it in the Pacific. Millions of American veterans learned it well. – Dwight D. Eisenhower
• For a mile up and down the open fields before us the splendid lines of the veterans of the Army of Northern Virginia swept down upon us. Their bearing was magnificent. They came forward with a rush, and how our men did yell, ‘Come on, Johnny, come on!’ – Rufus Dawes
• For every veteran who goes through a divorce, a wife goes through one, too. For every veteran alone in the basement, there is a wife upstairs, bewildered, isolated and in despair from the dark clouds of war that hangs over family life. – Karl Marlantes
• Freedom is never free. – Maya Angelou
• Giving a veteran a flag is not a substitute for giving our vets the quality health care they were promised – Dick Durbin
• He [Osama bin Laden] is clearly an odd combination of a 12th-century theologian and a 21st-century CEO. He runs an absolutely unique organization in the Islamic world. It’s multiethnic, multilinguistic, multinational. He is a combat veteran, three times wounded. He has a huge reputation in the Islamic world for generosity and leadership. He’s a man who speaks eloquent, almost poetic Arabic, according to Bernard Lewis. – Michael Scheuer
• He discusses his service in Iraq, the wounds he suffered there and he says to me in this ad, until you have the guts to call me a phony soldier to my face, stop telling lies about my service. You know, this is such a blatant use of a valiant combat veteran, lying to him about what I said, and then strapping those lies to his belt, sending him out via the media and a TV ad, to walk into as many people as he can walk into. – Rush Limbaugh
• He hasn’t lost his vision. That’s one thing. He’s good. The guy is smooth and knows how to set up blocks. He’s a veteran, too. It’s fun to watch him run. Hopefully everything works out all right physically, but certainly he looks good so far. – Jake Delhomme
• He was a combat veteran from Korea, and he was a great father. – Mike Pence
• Heroism is latent in every human soul – However humble or unknown, they (the veterans) have renounced what are accounted pleasures and cheerfully undertaken all the self-denials – privations, toils, dangers, sufferings, sicknesses, mutilations, life-long hurts and losses, death itself – for some great good, dimly seen but dearly held. – Joshua Chamberlain
• Honor to the soldier and sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country’s cause. Honor, also, to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field and serves, as he best can, the same cause. – Abraham Lincoln
• I also believe our country made a promise to veterans and their families. Veterans have kept their end of the bargain, and now, the VA is looking to pull out the rug. – Ellen Tauscher
• I am convinced that America’s great sea of goodwill can be, in fact, a rising tide, a tide that could lift every veteran and every family of our wounded and fallen. – Michael Mullen
• I am not a veteran environmentalist. I don’t live in a house made of recycled tires, I’ve never handcuffed myself to a tree, and I don’t grow my own organic rutabaga. – Christy Mathewson
• I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow cells. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. – Martin Luther King, Jr.
• I can’t imagine anybody disagrees with President Trump when he says, if we don’t take care of our veterans, who are we really as a nation? -Kellyanne Conway
• I come from a district where the veterans are not the richest in the country. – Corrine Brown
• I feel a sense of obligation to our troops and their families because of the decisions that I made. So I’m involved with veterans. – George W. Bush
• I had lots of friends who were fighting in Vietnam and I am still friends with veterans of the war. – Gordon Lightfoot
• I had the privilege and the honor of chairing the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs. And it is interesting to me, you know, Republicans give a lot of speeches about how much they love veterans. I work with the American Legion, the VFW, the DAV, the Vietnam Vets, and virtually every veterans organization to put together the most comprehensive piece of the veterans legislation in the modern history of America. That’s what I did. – Bernie Sanders
• I have gone to all over the country and I’ve met so many veterans and I have tremendous veteran support. – Donald Trump
• I have to say I have the most experience. I’m a veteran when it comes to that, [my brothers] they’re still learning. They have lots of potential. They’re like first-round picks right now in the game, they still have to develop. – P. K. Subban
• I know the veterans. I know them well. And I know that they know that I’ll take care of them. And I’ve been proud of their support and their recognition of my service to the veterans. – John McCain
• I love the veterans. And I’ll take care of them. And they know that I’ll take care of them. And that’s going to be my job. But, also, I have the ability, and the knowledge, and the background to make the right judgments, to keep America safe and secure. – John McCain
• I love when I am around a veteran in [show] business. Because I can dig and ask questions, and find out the “who” and “what” of it all. – Jill Scott
• I never thought of serving as a conflict of interest, that would have been a luxury! I just needed something to survive. Initial needs have to be met first, and then later things like patriotism come in. – Donna M. Loring
• I offer a better way for America with ideas that actually work, a reformed tax code that rewards free enterprise instead of just enterprising lobbyists. A reformed health care system that operates by free choice instead of by force and doesn’t leave you answering to cold, clueless bureaucrats. A commitment to a renewed commitment to building a 21st Century military and giving our veterans the care that they were promised and the care that they earned. – Paul Ryan
• I oppose U.S. military intervention in Iraq. I believe that we should not send troops or engage in air strikes-our nation’s military involvement needs to be over. The United States has already spent billions of dollars in Iraq while our nation has endured a crumbling infrastructure, cuts to our social programs, a lack of investment in job training and creation, and sadly, a failure to take care of our veterans. Let’s focus our resources at home. Over 4000 men and women have sacrificed their lives for Iraq. That is enough. – Janice Hahn
• I personally found Donald Trump’s praise for Vladimir Putin troubling or even chilling, frankly. In a room full of military veterans, to be effusing about his great leadership and how strong he is and how popular he is, while disrespecting the American president and American generals, I don’t know. That was, I think, not just troubling to me, but to a lot of listeners and I think, frankly, to a lot of Republican listeners as well. – Philip Gordon
• I play an 89-year-old man whose wife has Alzheimer’s in a movie called ‘Still.’ I play a World War II veteran, I acted with my son and it’s called ‘Memorial Day.’ – James Cromwell
• I put the Vietnam War behind me a long time ago, and what I wanted to (do) among other things was help veterans also be able to come all the way home as some of our veterans have not been able to do. But I harbor no anger nor rancor. I’m a better man for my experience, and I’m grateful for having the opportunity of serving. – John McCain
• I said you [Mike Pence] can’t give me this [Purple Heart]. He said, “Mr. Trump you mean so much to me and my family.” You know we’re doing very well with the veterans. I know you guys do not like to say that. – Donald Trump
• I see what those people [veterans] are going through. To see a doctor, sometimes it takes six and seven days and then you finally get there and the doctor is gone on vacation. – Donald Trump
• I started a theater called Steppenwolf. We’ve been very supportive of the veterans there. – Gary Sinise
• I think America as a whole has come more to terms with separating war from the warrior. – Jeffrey Dunn
• I think our veterans certainly deserve and have earned the best health care in the world. – Phil Roe
• I think that the needs of the VA and the needs of the veteran community are very, very significant. Цe’re talking about a VA system in which, in the last years a million-and-a-half more people have come into the system. You’re dealing with 500,000 people have come home from Iraq an Afghanistan with PTSD and TBI. You’re dealing with an older veterans population from World War II and Korea who need some difficult medical help. We want to see it be more efficient. We want to see doctors go to where they’re needed.- Bernie Sanders
• I think the choice option is critical to give the veteran an opportunity, if they choose to do so, to opt out. We have done that in this particular piece of legislation for those that have been waiting in line, and particularly for those that live 40 miles or more from a VA facility. – Jeff Miller
• I think the President’s decision to withdraw the United States, to keep a campaign promise in Iraq, without leaving a stay-behind force was a mistake, and I hear that from veterans in Wyoming and from parents who lost children fighting in Iraq. We’re seeing it, though, around the world. When we, the United States leads a vacuum anywhere, that emboldens others to go in, when there is no sense of deterrence by the United States that lets bad actors move and fill the void. – John Barrasso
• I think there’s where we can enlist the veterans service organizations, the veterans of America, because, yes, let’s fix the V.A., but we will never let it be privatized, and that is a promise. – Hillary Clinton
• I think we’re being laughed at all over the world. I think that if you look at our military, we can’t beat ISIS, General George Patton, General Douglas MacArthur are spinning in their grave. We can’t beat ISIS, okay? I think that our veterans are not taken care of, they’re treated worse than illegal immigrants, by the way. – Donald Trump
• I want people to get involved and to connect with veterans. – Max Martini
• I want to be sure…that nothing is done on these veterans. Is that understood?…Is the word out? That they are not to touch em, they are not to do a thing?…Get a hold of the district police; they’re not to touch them, they’re to do nothing: Just let em raise Hell. – Richard M. Nixon
• I was a veteran, before I was a teenager. – Michael Jackson
• I was born in Munich, and my father was stationed in Salzburg. For the first three years of my life, I lived in Austria back when the American Army was still in Austria. I grew up subsequently in posts around the country around veterans. – Rick Atkinson
• I was elected by the Democrats to be chair of the Veterans Committee, which I’m very proud of. And now am the rankings member on the Budget Committee, leader of the Democrats in opposition to the majority Republicans. – Bernie Sanders
• I was there. I saw your sons and your husbands, your brothers and your sweethearts. I saw how they worked, played, fought, and lived. I saw some of them die. I saw more courage, more good humor in the face of discomfort, more love in an era of hate and more devotion to duty than could exist under tyranny. – Bob Hope
• I would like to say something, not just to Vietnam veterans in New England, but to men who were in Vietnam, who I hurt, or whose pain I caused to deepen because of the things that I said or did. I was trying to help end the killing and the war, but there were times when I was thoughtless and careless about it and I’m…very sorry that I hurt them. And I want to apologize to them and their families. – Jane Fonda
• I would not call myself a veteran conspiracy theorist. Or an obsessed one. I pretty much peaked on the whole conspiracy theory thing in the ’60s, with the grassy knoll, who really killed JFK, and who ordered the hit on Lee Harvey Oswald. – Patti Davis
• I’d like to give every young teacher some good news. Teaching is a very easy job. Administrators will tell you what to do. You’ll be given books and told chapters to assign the children. Veteran teachers will show you the correct way to fill out forms and have your classes line up.And here’s some more good news. If you do all of these things badly, they let you keep doing it. You can go home at three o’clock every day. You get about three months off a year. Teaching is a great gig.However, if you care about what you’re doing, it’s one of the toughest jobs around. – Rafe Esquith
• If you listen closely to the voices of our veterans, you understand that yes, they all returned from war changed, but what never changed is this: They never forgot your generosity. They never forgot the power of opportunity. They never forgot the American dream. – Michael Mullen
• I’m a veteran, and I’ve earned the right to be heard. I’ll lead by example and show that gay players are no different from straight ones. I’m not the loudest person in the room, but I’ll speak up when something isn’t right. And try to make everyone laugh. – Jason Collins
• I’m ashamed that Congress finds billions for pork-barrel subsidies but fails to find money for veterans’ health care. – John McCain
• I’m just one example of thousands of transgender veterans and people who are actively serving today. – Allyson Robinson
• I’m sick of the cover-ups, I’m sick of the lies, and so are the bloody veterans, that come out daily of the department’s mouth. – Malcolm Turnbull
• In a fire you have to be thoughtful, you have to have a certain kind of intuitive smarts that the veterans have. I’m not there yet, despite the Stanford degree.- Caroline Paul
• In addition to demanding answers and accountability from the Veterans Administration, Congress had to act to ensure veterans do not suffer because of the actions of a federal agency. – Doc Hastings
• In climbing, a fundamental thing is to want to do something you’ve never done before. That’s the beauty of climbing, whether you’re a girl or boy, seasoned veteran or beginner. You’re not sure you’ll be able to do this, but you try, and discovering you are capable is an amazing experience and an amazing feeling. – Chris Sharma
• In mid-May, the House of Representatives approved the full amount of money that the Veterans Administration said was needed for next year – plus an additional $1 billion increase for veterans’ health care. – Doc Hastings
• In researching this volume, I interviewed veterans who had been at the front during World War II. I read countless books, examined film footage, and listened to many detailed and intense stories firsthand, but the one comment that affected me the most came from a former soldier who lowered his gaze to the tabletop and said, ‘I never watch war movies. – Hiromu Arakawa
• In spite of the incident, my experience in Kansas City was wonderful and I thank all the warm and supportive people, including so many veterans, who came to welcome me last night. – Jane Fonda
• It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you. – Dick Cheney
• It is impossible not to recognise the Long March as one of the great triumphs of men against odds and men against nature. While the Red Army was unquestionably in forced retreat, its toughened veterans reached their planned objective with moral and political will as strong as ever… Their conviction had helped turn what might have been a terrible defeat into an arrival in triumph. – Edgar Snow
• It is time to acknowledge the extraordinary sacrifice of all of our veterans. While many Massachusetts soldiers served our nation in a period technically dubbed ‘peacetime,’ they restored American pride in the wake of Vietnam and helped bring a successful end to the Cold War. The service of these men and women was not without cost. There are countless stories of soldiers who served with great distinction only to be denied veteran status after returning home. Every man and woman who volunteered to serve this country should be treated with the same degree of respect, gratitude and dignity. – Mitt Romney
• It’s the only call…To have Christian Ponder as your third quarterback, a guy who started for you a year, to me it made it an easy call because you have a veteran guy who has played in this atmosphere before. – Bill Cowher
• It’s horrible to think that a small cadre of people would manipulate that information. I mean, for God’s sake, we’ve admitted that we were experimenting on our veterans with mustard gas. So there is no security question. It can’t possibly be the reason. – Dwight Schultz
• It’s important for me to highlight my views for veterans who’ve fought for America and at the same time don’t have anything to show for it. It’s kind of dear to me. – 2 Chainz
• It’s quite a traumatic thing for a lot of our veterans that come back… You’re in a war zone, you’re dodging IED’s and bullets one day and a couple days later you’re back in society again with a bunch of people that have no idea of what you’ve been through. – Charlie Daniels
• I’ve been described as a grizzled political veteran. – Joe Klein
• I’ve shared meditation with a lot of hip-hop artists, inmates, and returning war veterans with PTSD, as well. I feel like this dharma, this service is part of my job. – Russell Simmons
• Karl Malone used a lot of veteran stuff that I thought was cool. – Tim Duncan
• Like the archers of Agincourt, John O’Neal and the 254 Swiftboat Veterans took down their own haughty Frenchman. – Ann Coulter
• Lilian Ross was a – veteran writer for The New Yorker. She, in fact, brought me to The New Yorker many years ago. – Nat Hentoff
• Love me or hate me, it’s one or the other. Always has been. Hate my game, my swagger. Hate my fadeaway, my hunger. Hate that I’m a veteran. A champion. Hate that. Hate it with all your heart. And hate that I’m loved, for the exact same reasons. – Kobe Bryant
• Madison Square Garden, November 1984. I don’t recall taking too much fear into the ring. I knew I could fight. But I got a big shock. They put me in with this rough, tough veteran called Lionel Byarm. He tested me to the limit. But I fought my heart out and, in the end, I prevailed. The story of my life, in my very first fight. – Evander Holyfield
• Makin’ veterans run for medicine, Cause I put out more lights in a fight than ConEdison.- Kool G Rap
• Marriage – as its veterans know well – is the continuous process of getting used to things you hadn’t expected. – Thomas Mullen
• Memorial Day isn’t just about honoring veterans, its honoring those who lost their lives. Veterans had the fortune of coming home. For us, that’s a reminder of when we come home we still have a responsibility to serve. It’s a continuation of service that honors our country and those who fell defending it. – Pete Hegseth
• More and more teams are using almost exclusively the draft to build their teams. And that means you have younger players to develop in those key depth positions. Younger players are more susceptible to streaks than veterans. They go up, they go down. – Ozzie Newsome
• More importantly, if you are in a position to hire, hire a veteran. They will be the best employees you have. – Eric Shinseki
• More often than not, you find players seeing something that they can help another player with or reinforce something the coaches are seeing. Veterans do that regularly with younger players. – Brendan Daly
• Mortgage is one of the most popular deductions. It costs the Treasury about $103 billion a year. Now that’s money we could use to treat wounded veterans or reduce the deficit or fill the border. Instead, we give it a subsidy to homeowners, and it goes mainly to the richest homeowners in America, because only one third of Americans itemize their deductions. It doesn’t work. Many countries have gotten rid of the mortgage interest deduction. Almost all of them have higher homeownership rates than we do. – T.R. Reid
• Muddy language is not confined to policies alone. Each of you has seen replies to simple questions in which the meaning was lost through hopelessly obscure wording. When a person writes to the Veterans Administration, he is entitled to an easily understood, frank, and courteous reply. If our replies cannot be understood, they are not only not worth writing, but they simply create additional work. – Omar N. Bradley
• My daddy was a veteran, and it’s something dear to my heart. I helped him, he stayed with me until he passed away, and I’m not sure what kind of life he would have had if I wasn’t there for him. – 2 Chainz
• My wartime experiences developing a code that utilized the Navajo language taught how important our Navajo culture is to our country. For me that is the central lesson: that diverse cultures can make a country richer and stronger. – Chester Nez
• NBA has a selfish rationale. It saves the owners money by delaying the time a player gets to a second, more lucrative contract. Even the player’s union is on board. There are only 450 jobs in the NBA, and the one-and-done protects veterans’ jobs. – Sonny Vaccaro
• No administration in recent times has been able to tackle the needs of our veterans. On that, I do want to see Donald Trump successful. But in terms of his travel ban and immigration policy, I don’t want to see him successful. – Nina Turner
• No capitalists after any war were ever so well paid for money loaned to the nation that carried it on. No class of money-makers ever gained such prosperity by any other war, as our War for the Union brought to the money-getters of America. All this was due in great measure to the rank and file of the Union army. Now let no rich man haggle with a needy veteran of that war about his right to a pension! – Rutherford B. Hayes
• Now therefore, be it Resolved by the Fiftieth Annual Convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, That we hereby declare that we are unalterably opposed to any program which would entail the surrender of any part of the sovereignty of the United States of America in favor of a world government. – Unknown
• Oklahomans value our children and our seniors. Oklahomans value traditions of faith. Oklahomans value our heroes, our veterans. Oklahomans value innovation and the creative arts. – Brad Henry
On the battlefield, the military pledges to leave no soldier behind. As a nation, let it be our pledge that when they return home, we leave no veteran behind. – Dan Lipinski
• Once over there [Balkans], I felt extremely patriotic. Here are these people, from 18-year-olds to military veterans, enduring real duress for the cause of peace. I don’t ever want to play for a regular audience again, only military folks who are starving for music. – Sheryl Crow
• One of my favorite episodes in West Wing was the homeless man that died and they found, in the overcoat he was wearing, a card of the speechwriter, Toby. He had given that coat to the Goodwill and this guy had ended up wearing it, died in it and Toby went to his funeral. He turned out to be a Korean war veteran. It was our first Christmas episode and that was a true story – a member of the staff had done exactly that. So many of these stories were far better than any fiction. – Martin Sheen
• One out of four people internationally believe if their country goes to war, The United States would be the opponent. As a veteran, I hang my head in shame over that. – Jesse Ventura
• One third of the $15 trillion of mortgages in existence in 2008 are owned, or securitized by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae, the Federal Housing and the Veterans Administration. Wall Street buyers of repackaged loans didn’t mind buying risky paper because they assumed that they would be guaranteed by the federal government: read bailout from the taxpayers. Today’s housing mess can be laid directly at the feet of Congress and the White House. – Walter E. Williams
• Our veterans are not being treated well. Our veterans, in many cases, are being treated worse than illegal immigrants, people that come into our country illegally. Our veterans are not being treated well. And, by the way, Hillary Clinton has been doing this for 35 years. Now she says she can do it? She doesn’t have a clue. – Donald Trump
• Our veterans connect generations and Canadians. As a country and as individuals, we gain in pride and in purpose from their deeds and their service. – Paul Martin
• Our veterans deserve the very best, and that means ensuring that America’s veterans receive high-quality services and cares when they come back home. – Elizabeth Warren
• Our veterans know the meaning of service better than anyone else and they aren’t about to quit working when they come home. The best reward we can provide our vets for their service isn’t a medal or a check; it’s a livelihood and a means of supporting themselves and their families. – Mitt Romney
• Outside of being a hit maker, I want to also be a star maker. Me being so young still as a veteran in the game, I wanted to give back to the youth and give back to my community. I want to find somebody that’s special and birth them to the world. – Sean Garrett
People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.- Richard Grenier
• Phil Gramm had a stump speech about how his mother’s devotion kept him from being an academic failure in life. She got him into a special school that turned him around – under a government program for the children of deceased veterans. He was repeatedly asked at press conferences why he would then turn around and support draconian cuts in federal funding for education. He never had an answer. – Gail Collins
• Republicans talk a good game about veterans, but when it came to put money on the line to protect our veterans, frankly, they were not there. – Bernie Sanders
• Romney still enjoys the Republicans’ traditional advantage among voters who are veterans, but the Obama campaign is confident it can chip away at that. – Mara Liasson
• Science is nothing but trained and organized common sense differing from the latter only as a veteran may differ from a raw recruit: and its methods differ from those of common sense only as far as the guardsman’s cut and thrust differ from the manner in which a savage wields his club. – Thomas Huxley
• Secretary [Hillary ] Clinton is absolutely right, there are people, Koch brothers among others, who have a group called Concerned Veterans of America, funded by the Koch brothers. The Koch brothers, by the way, want to destroy Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, every governmental program passed since the 1930s. Yes, there are people out there who want to privatize it. – Bernie Sanders
• Since the Revolution, eight generations of America’s veterans have established an unbroken commitment to freedom. – Steve Buyer
• SNAP is a critical anti-hunger program that feeds millions of low income Americans, including children, veterans, and seniors who would not otherwise have the resources to buy groceries. – Dan Maffei
• So when someone, a veteran stands up and say, “Here are the facts on the VA.” He [Donald Trump] says, “No, your facts are wrong.” Turns out her facts are right and his facts are wrong. – John McCain
• Susan Campbell has brought Isabella’s fascinating forgotten story back to life with the deep research of a born historian and the vibrant readable prose style of a veteran journalist. – Debby Applegate
• Thank you for the sacrifices you and your families are making. Our Vietnam Veterans have taught us that no matter what are positions may be on policy, as Americans and patriots, we must support all of our soldiers with our thoughts and our prayers. – Zach Wamp
• That was not the biggest battle that ever was, but for me it always typified one thing; the dash, the ingenuity, the readiness at the first opportunity that characterizes the American soldier. – Dwight D. Eisenhower
• That’s what makes America great; the fabric and the core of our beliefs and our being is we wrap ourselves around diversity. We say that the American flag represents our right to be free in every aspect of what that is, and every veteran who fought, fought for that freedom. So what we have to do is realize it’s not a choice between the country and racial justice; it’s about what we believe in at the core of our being, and that’s that we are free. – Jennifer Welter
The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding go out to meet it. – Thucydides
• The Bush administration has been doing everything it can to hide the huge number of returning veterans who are severely wounded – 17,000 so far including roughly 20 percent with serious brain and head injuries. Even the estimate of $500 billion ignores the lifetime disability and healthcare costs that taxpayers will have to spend for years to come. – Joseph Stiglitz
• The Chinese soldier was tough, brave, and experienced. After all he had been fighting on his own without help for years. He was a veteran among the Allies. – William Slim, 1st Viscount Slim
• The general’s staff is a handpicked collection of killers, spies, geniuses, patriots, political operators and outright maniacs. There’s a former head of British Special Forces, two Navy Seals, an Afghan Special Forces commando, a lawyer, two fighter pilots and at least two dozen combat veterans and counterinsurgency experts. They jokingly refer to themselves as Team America, taking the name from the South Park-esque sendup of military cluelessness, and they pride themselves on their can-do attitude and their disdain for authority. – Michael Hastings
• The issue of torture, connected to American soldiers, is not somewhere most people want to linger. We may not want to confront this issue so much in the U.S. because of how we want to think about our veterans. There’s the sense that we want to think of our veterans as – if they’re damaged, damaged by something glamorous, like a firefight. – Russell Banks
• The last point that I’d make. I had a hearing. I had all of the veterans groups in front of me. And I said to them, tell me when a veteran gets in to the V.A., understanding there are waiting lines and real problems, when a veteran gets into the system, is the quality of care good? – Bernie Sanders
• The last two years, nationals have been close to home for me, so I’ve had big family support from friends and club support. Especially last year in Ottawa, I had a whole section my grandpa got for all my family, and the skating club (supported me). I feel like I’m a veteran at this now. – Alaine Chartrand
• The men and women of today’s VA are dedicated to caring for today’s veterans and stand ready to provide for our servicemembers who now defend our freedoms and our way of life. – Steve Buyer
• The moon gives you light, and the bugles and the drums give you music, and my heart, O my soldiers, my veterans, my heart gives you love. – Walt Whitman
• The most basic obligation we have to our veterans is that we keep the promises that were made to them. That is what makes the recent failures of the Veterans Administration so shameful. – Doc Hastings
• The need for this clinic is clear to me, to the veterans who are currently forced to travel hours to receive care, and even to the Veterans Administration that itself identified creation of a clinic in this part of our state as a priority to be completed by 2006. – Doc Hastings
• The nicest veterans in Schenectady, I thought, the kindest and funniest ones, the ones who hated war the most, were the ones who’d really fought. – Kurt Vonnegut
• The object of my relationship with Vietnam has been to heal the wounds that exist, particularly among our veterans, and to move forward with a positive relationship,… Apparently some in the Vietnamese government don’t want to do that and that’s their decision. – Ho Chi Minh Show source
• The Republican tax cut threatens to undercut both veterans health care and the veterans educational benefits that have been recognized for decades as not only the long-standing obligation of the Nation to its veterans, but also as the best recruiting incentives we can offer to keep our armed forces strong and sharp. – Lane Evans
• The rocks have a history; gray and weatherworn, they are veterans of many battles; they have most of them marched in the ranks of vast stone brigades during the ice age; they have been torn from the hills, recruited from the mountaintops, and marshaled on the plains and in the valleys; and now the elemental war is over, there they lie waging a gentle but incessant warfare with time and slowly, oh, so slowly, yielding to its attacks! – John Burroughs
• The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth disputed whether John Kerry deserved some of his five medals. A large part of Kerry’s defense was an appeal to the authority of veterans who supported him-one of whom has now been revealed to have received a medal he doesn’t deserve. This doesn’t prove the Kerry detractors were right, but it certainly doesn’t weaken their case. – James Taranto
• The United States government was proud that, although perhaps 100,000 Iraqis had died in the Gulf War of 1991, there were only 48 American battle casualties. What it has concealed from the public is that 206,000 veterans of that war filed claims with the VA for injuries and illnesses. In the years since that war, 8,300 veterans have died, and 160,000 claims for disability have been recognized by the VA. – Howard Zinn
• The Veteran’s Administration is a disaster, the V.A., it’s a disaster. – Donald Trump
• The Veteran’s History Project, a nationwide volunteer effort to collect oral histories from America’s war veterans, provides an avenue to do just that. Now in its fifth year, the Project has collected more than 40,000 individual stories. – Spencer Bachus
• The way to balance the budget is for Congress to cut Social Security, move the retirement age to 70, cut defense, Medicare and veterans pensions, while the states cut almost everything else. It would be tough but we could do it. – Howard Dean
The willingness of America’s veterans to sacrifice for our country has earned them our lasting gratitude. – Jeff Miller
• The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive the Veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation. – George Washington
• The winning team has a dedication. It will have a core of veteran players who set the standards. They will not accept defeat. – Merlin Olsen
• There is a massive problem with veteran suicides. – Eric Bolling
• There is a sort of veteran women of condition, who, having lived always in the grand mode, and having possibly had some gallantries, together with the experience of five and twenty or thirty years, form a young fellow better than all the rules that can be given him. – Lord Chesterfield
• There will be no veterans of World War III. – Walter F. Mondale
• There would be a paragraph about some veteran digging tunnels for the Germans in a slave labor camp, or something like that. Finally I decided to look it up and go further into it. – Charles Guggenheim
• These men were wrongfully rejected, the veterans. The fighting man should never have been blamed for Vietnam. – Neil Sheehan
• This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave. – Elmer Davis
• This year’s Veterans Day celebration is especially significant as our country remains committed to fighting the War on Terror and as brave men and women are heroically defending our homeland. – John Doolittle
• To the Cold War veterans here, know that your steadfast efforts preserved a delicate balance, and, because of you, the global war that many feared never came to pass. We are thankful for you, as we are for all the veterans here with us. – Michael Mullen
• To those seniors, and especially elderly veterans like myself, I want to tell you this: You are not alone, and you having nothing to be ashamed of. If elder abuse happened to me, it can happen to anyone. I want you to know that you deserve better. – Mickey Rooney
• Today at Pearl Harbor, veterans are gathering to pay tribute to the young men they remember who never escaped the sunken ships. And over the years, some Pearl Harbor veterans have made a last request. They ask that their ashes be brought down and placed inside the USS Arizona. After the long lives given them, they wanted to rest besides the best men they ever knew. Such loyalty and love remain the greatest strength of the United States Navy. – George W. Bush
• Twenty-five million veterans are living among us today. These men and women selflessly set aside their civilian lives to put on the uniform and serve us. – Steve Buyer
• Twenty-two suicides a day from our veterans. Do you believe that number? Twenty-two a day. – Donald Trump
• Valor is stability, not of legs and arms, but of courage and the soul. – Michel de Montaigne
• Veteran art creates a meeting place between veterans and civilians, or simply between veterans with different experiences. – Phil Klay
• Veterans get priority in the training room and better parking, but there is not a whole lot of difference in terms of how they’re treated in the competition for playing time. To me it doesn’t matter if a guy is a 10-year veteran or a rookie. If the rookie is better, he finds his way onto the field. – Brendan Daly
• Veterans’ issues are quite close to my heart. I find it quite hard to talk about, actually. – John Oliver
• Veterans report that service dogs help break their isolation. People will often avert their eyes when they see a wounded veteran. But when the veteran has a dog, the same people will come up and say, ‘Hi’ to pet the dog and then strike up a conversation. – Al Franken
• We are dealing with veterans, not procedures; with their problems, not ours. – Omar N. Bradley
• We can’t equate spending on veterans with spending on defense. Our strength is not just in the size of our defense budget, but in the size of our hearts, in the size of our gratitude for their sacrifice. And that’s not just measured in words or gestures. – Jennifer Granholm
• We do not need to have a president who insults Mexicans and Latinos and Muslims and women and veterans and African-Americans, we need a president who brings us together, not divides us up. – Bernie Sanders
• We don’t attack any veteran, at all, ever, for their service record. We thank them. And the fact that somebody wanted to do that for political gain, shows the desperation of which some people unfortunately in the Republican Party want to keep and seize power. – Matt Shea
• We have a very large military community – veterans and others – who basically do believe in the militarism. – Julianne Malveaux
• We have the greatest people on Earth in our military. We don’t take care of our veterans. – Donald Trump
• We have to change that whole system [of veterans support]. It starts with management. We have to have a whole different set of protocols. And we have to get people off the lines. – Donald Trump
• We have to have an aggressive, long-term plan to tackle our nation’s debt, but attempting to balance the budget on the backs of veterans who have risked life and limb in service of our country is unacceptable. I believe we can and should work together to find reasonable and common-sense cuts that will reduce our debt, but as a generation of warriors returns from two wars, our most solemn responsibility is to make sure they have the care and benefits they have earned. – Tim Walz
• We know about General John Kelly’s military experience and his record there and being a decorated veteran of combat over in Iraq in particular. In fact, that’s where I first met him was when Ramadi was shot to shambles during the surge era. We took a ride around there, even a minaret was shot in half and he pointed to that and said we were taking fire from that minaret. My son took that down with a 20 milimeter cannon. That’s my first impression of John Kelly. – Steve King
• We must do everything we can to help our service members and veterans transition into civilian life once they return home, and that means preparing them for the tough job market. – Kirsten Gillibrand
• We need our veterans to set an example, like being the first ones there. A veteran is entitled to a bigger paycheck, but not a special set of rules. – Jim Leyland
• We need to fix the military, help veterans, our inner cities are a disaster, you get shot walking to the store. We cannot take 4 more years of Barack Obama, and that’s what you get if you get Hillary Clinton. – Donald Trump
• We respect everybody’s individual opinion, and we have so much respect for veterans. We’re probably one of the biggest movie employer of veterans. – Ian Bryce
• We salute our veterans of Pearl Harbor and World War II, whose sacrifices saved democracy during a dark hour. In their memory, a new generation of our Armed Forces goes forward against new enemies in a new era. Once again, we pledge to defend freedom, secure our homeland, and advance peace around the world. Americans have been tested before, and our Nation will triumph again. – George W. Bush
• We sit at our consoles and play “Gears of War”, but we don’t see images from war. We don’t turn on the news and see the evidence of war, the result of war. Maybe twice a year, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, we’ll go out, we’ll hang our flags, we’ll try to inculcate in our children some sense of national honor for the fallen. But really, we don’t see it. We just don’t see the pictures. There’s no drive-by on the freeway of death up close. So we don’t really see bravery. – Jamie Lee Curtis
• We, too, born to freedom, and believing in freedom, are willing to fight to maintain freedom. We, and all others who believe as deeply as we do, would rather die on our feet than live on our knees. – Franklin D. Roosevelt
• We’ve got to continue to find ways to honor our 25 million veterans that have served our country with such honor and distinction. – Zach Wamp
What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight – it’s the size of the fight in the dog. – Dwight D. Eisenhower
• What happened after World War I was disgraceful. Most veterans, like my great-uncle, were squashed back into place. Congress couldn’t pass an anti-lynching bill. The World War II generation, though, wasn’t going to take it. – Darryl Pinckney
• What I do see is the right from the beginning that [Donald] Trump had an interest and was very persuasive in terms of talking about the veterans and needing to make changes there. – Kimberly Guilfoyle
• What I think people should realize is that programs like Social Security, programs like Medicare, programs like the Veterans Administration, programs like your local park and your local library – those are, if you like, socialist programs; they’re run by [and] for the public, not to make money. I think in many ways we should expand that concept so that the American people can enjoy the same benefits that people all over the world are currently enjoying. – Bernie Sanders
• When a guy running for president will not support the troops, not support veterans, not support teachers, that’s really important. – Tim Kaine
• When I first went to jail in 1960 with seven classmates trying to use their public library against the backdrop of my father being a veteran of World War II, not being able to use – having to sit behind Nazi on American military bases, I lost my fear of jails and death. – Jesse Jackson
• When I raise money for the veterans, and it’s a massive amount of money, find out how much Hillary Clinton’s given to the veterans. Nothing. – Donald Trump
• When I was building the Vietnam Memorial, I never once asked the veterans what it was like in the war, because from my point of view, you don’t pry into other people’s business. – Maya Lin
• When it comes to standing up for veterans, we cannot be the Republicans and Democrats, we have to be the red, white, and blue party. – Barbara Mikulski
• When Sarah Palin goes out and says this [about her son] is because of this [ post-traumatic stress disorder], it`s actually not because of this. And now it sort of gives the idea that all veterans are going to pick up a weapon and shoot somebody, or all veterans are going to hit somebody. – Jon Soltz
• When the peace treaty is signed, the war isn’t over for the veterans, or the family. It’s just starting. – Karl Marlantes
• When the Veterans Affairs Department implemented a program to provide home-based health care to veterans with multiple chronic conditions – many of the systems most expensive patients to treat – they received astounding results. – Ron Wyden
• When you have 8,000 veterans a year committing suicide, then you have a serious problem. – Johnny Isakson
• When you run for president of the United States, everybody does the same thing in the campaign-they talk about veterans, how much they admire them, how grateful they are. – Mark Shields
• Whether you’re a veteran like me or a high school athlete, the most important thing you can do is keep your body healthy. – Jason Terry
• While millions of American families, including mine and yours, were working hard paying our fair share, it seems Donald Trump was contributing nothing to our nation. Imagine that. Not fair. Nothing for Pell grants to help kids go to college. Nothing for veterans. Nothing for our military. – Hillary Clinton
• While only one day of the year is dedicated solely to honoring our veterans, Americans must never forget the sacrifices that many of our fellow countrymen have made to defend our country and protect our freedoms. – Randy Neugebauer
• While we have made great progress in increasing funding for veterans’ benefits, we still have a long way to go in fully meeting the promise to our veterans. – Sue Kelly
• You can take the best team and the worst team and line them up and you would find very little physical difference. You would find an emotional difference. The wining team has a dedication. It will have a core group of veteran players who set the standards. They will not accept defeat. – Merlin Olsen
• You have to be a soldier and a veteran, or a soldier who sacrificed your life for your country. – Rashid Khalidi
• You’ve been told that you’re broken, that you’re damaged goods and should be labeled victims. I don’t buy it. The truth, instead, is that you are the only folks with the skills, determination, and values to ensure American dominance in this chaotic world. – James Mattis

• “America’s Cold War veterans deserve every honor we can bestow upon them for their hard work and dedication to keeping our nation safe,”. “The Cold War Service Medal would allow military service members, veterans, and their families to receive the recognition and honor they rightfully deserve. I will continue to work with my colleagues to ensure our veterans receive the support and care they and their families need. It’s the least we can do as a grateful nation.” – Blanche Lincoln
• A broadsheet obituarist once pointed out to me that veteran soldiers die by rank. First to go are the generals, admirals and air marshals, then the brigadiers, then a bit of a gap and the colonels and wing commanders and passed-over majors, then a steady trickle of captains and lieutenants. As they get older and rarer, so the soldiers are mythologised and grow ever more heroic, until finally drummer boys and under-age privates are venerated and laurelled with honours like ancient field marshals. There is something touching about that. – A. A. Gill
• A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself. – Joseph Campbell
• About a veteran player thrown out trying to steal second: There was larceny in his heart, but his legs were honest. – Arthur Baer
• After several years in the league, when a player becomes a vested veteran in the NFL, they play under a different set of rules. For instance, if you cut a vested veteran mid-season and they don’t get picked up by another team, you owe them the remainder of their salary. – Brendan Daly
• Alice thought, No. It wasn’t the War and the disgruntled veterans; it wasn’t the droves and droves of colored people flocking to paychecks and streets full of themselves. It was the music. The dirty, get-on-down music the women sang and the men played and both danced to, close and shamelesss or apart and wild…It made you do unwise disorderly things. Just hearing it was like violating the law. – Toni Morrison
• All of my high school male teachers were WWII and/or Korean War veterans. They taught my brothers and me the value of service to our country and reinforced what our dad had shown us about the meaning of service.- Oliver North
• America united with a handful of troops, or without a single soldier, exhibits a more forbidding posture to foreign ambition than America disunited, with a hundred thousand veterans ready for combat. – James Madison
• America, we cannot turn back. Not with so much work to be done. Not with so many children to educate, and so many veterans to care for. Not with an economy to fix and cities to rebuild and farms to save. Not with so many families to protect and so many lives to mend. America, we cannot turn back. We cannot walk alone. At this moment, in this election, we must pledge once more to march into the future. Let us keep that promise – that American promise – and in the words of Scripture hold firmly, without wavering, to the hope that we confess. – Barack Obama
• America’s veterans embody the ideals upon which America was founded more than 229 years ago. – Steve Buyer
• Among gardeners, enthusiasm and experience rarely exist in equal measures. The beginner dreams of home-grown bouquets and baskets of ripe fruit, the veteran of many seasons has learned to expect slugs, mildew, and frost. – Roger Swain
• and suddenly it hits you: Human skin is actually made up of billions of tiny units of protoplasm, called “cells”! And what is even more interesting, the ones on the outside are all dying! This is a fact. Your skin is like an aggressive modern corporation, where the older veteran cells, who have finally worked their way to the top and obtained offices with nice views,are constantly being shoved out the window head first, without so much as a pension plan,by younger hotshot cells moving up from below. – Dave Barry
• And when they have done their job, America must look after and honor its veterans. – Adam Schiff
• Any veteran can tell you it is already hard enough to see a doctor down at the VA and get the health care they were promised when they signed up to serve this country. – Nick Lampson
• As a combat veteran, I know the cost of war. – Tulsi Gabbard
• As a soldier and combat veteran, I believe American military forces should only be used in the defense and furtherance of our nation’s vital interests. – Joni Ernst
• As a veteran, I believe we have a responsibility to take care of all our men and women who have served – and I will fight to fix the crisis at the Veterans Administration caused by negligent leadership in Washington. – Joni Ernst
• As any war veteran will tell you, there is a vast difference between preparing for battle and actually facing battle for the first time. You can be told that reading Victor Hugo will sap your will to live, but you can’t understand what it means until you’ve read a few chapters and your eyes are glazed over and someone has to revive you with a defibrillator. – Kevin Hearne
• As first time director, though, you’re like a new officer coming up to be in charge of very serious veterans, and you’re always going to have guys looking at each other for the first day until they realize you’re not screwing around. – William Monahan
• As the days went on, I didn’t mind the games. In fact, I looked forward to them. That was the easiest part of all. I couldn’t wait to get to the ballpark I’d be the first one there and I was willing to do anything. I think that’s why the veterans liked me. – Al Kaline
• As the field of coaching finds its way to becoming a mature discipline, James Flaherty’s dedicated field research, study, and sound articulation offers a definitive ground and a sensibility of genuine care. At the core this book offers a way of thinking about human beings that makes action and practice central to learning. This is a no-nonsense, generous, pragmatic book that belongs on the shelf every coach, novice or veteran. – Richard Strozzi-Heckler
• As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. – John F. Kennedy
• As we try to compete in this global marketplace, we need to rebuild our infrastructure. We need to rebuild our schools. We need to make sure that teachers and first responders and veterans who are coming home from serving our country so proudly have jobs waiting for them.- Valerie Jarrett
• At Concerned Veterans for America, we’ve made the case that the defense budget could be targeted for spending reform, but in a targeted fashion that genuinely changes unsustainable spending trajectories while preserving U.S. defense capacity. – Pete Hegseth
• At the same time, we’re going to take care of our military and we’re going to take care of our great, great, great veterans. – Donald Trump

• Because all of us believe and understand in the fabric of the common bond of why we call ourselves American is to care for the men and women who wear the uniform; and when they take off the uniform, we care for them when they are veterans. – Steve Buyer
• Because Vietnam was not a declared war, the veterans are not even eligible for the G. I. Bill of Rights with respect to education or anything. – Ronald Reagan
• Better than honor and glory, and History’s iron pen, Was the thought of duty done and the love of his fellow-men. – Richard Watson Gilder
• Brave rifles! Veterans! You have been baptized in fire and blood and have come out steel! – Winfield Scott
• But despite their heroic acts, the Vietnam Veterans of America continued to struggle to establish a combat badge in honor of these brave pilots and medics. – Tim Holden
• But this Veterans Day, I believe we should do more than sing the praises of the bravery and patriotism that our veterans have embodied in the past. We should take this opportunity to re-evaluate how we are treating our veterans in the present. – Nick Lampson
• By cutting critical domestic programs such as education, health, environmental protection, and veterans’ services, this budget reveals misplaced priorities. – Dan Lipinski
• By interviewing at least one veteran, you can preserve memories that otherwise might be lost. My uncle was a downed fighter pilot and P.O.W. in World War II, and I am looking forward to recording his story for inclusion in the project. – Spencer Bachus
• Caring for our veterans is the duty of a grateful nation. Unfortunately, the Bush administration and congressional Republicans have not lived up to this duty.- Patty Murray
• Chancellor [Angela] Merkel is perhaps the only leader left among our closest allies that was there when I arrived. So in some ways we are now the veterans of many challenges over the last eight years. – Barack Obama
• Charles Barkley taught me a lot when I played against him. How he would use his body or use his dribble to get people in there and all that stuff. Veteran moves. – Tim Duncan
• City’s effort to end homelessness among veterans is different than how things used to be in L.A. – John Carlos Frey
• Congress should stop treating veterans like they’re asking for a hand out when it comes to the benefits they were promised, and they should realize that, were it not for these veterans, there would be nothing to hand out. – Nick Lampson
• Disabled veterans are not a bargaining chip. – Jim Bridenstine
• Does Trumpcare protect seniors and families? Does Trumpcare – is Trumpcare good for our veterans? Is there any caring in Trumpcare at all? – Nancy Pelosi
• During their college years the oarsmen put in terrbily long hours, often showing up at the boathouse at 6:00am for preclass practices. Both physically and psychologically, they were separated from their classmates. Events that seemed earth-shattering to them– for example, who was demoted from the varsity to the junior varsity — went almost unnoticed by the rest of the students. In many ways they were like combat veterans coming back from a small, bitter and distant war, able to talk only to other veterans. – David Halberstam
• Every # Veteran is a hero. – Joe Walsh
• First, separate ground, sea and air warfare is gone forever. This lesson we learned in World War II. I lived that lesson in Europe. Others lived it in the Pacific. Millions of American veterans learned it well. – Dwight D. Eisenhower
• For a mile up and down the open fields before us the splendid lines of the veterans of the Army of Northern Virginia swept down upon us. Their bearing was magnificent. They came forward with a rush, and how our men did yell, ‘Come on, Johnny, come on!’ – Rufus Dawes
• For every veteran who goes through a divorce, a wife goes through one, too. For every veteran alone in the basement, there is a wife upstairs, bewildered, isolated and in despair from the dark clouds of war that hangs over family life. – Karl Marlantes
• Freedom is never free. – Maya Angelou
• Giving a veteran a flag is not a substitute for giving our vets the quality health care they were promised – Dick Durbin
• He [Osama bin Laden] is clearly an odd combination of a 12th-century theologian and a 21st-century CEO. He runs an absolutely unique organization in the Islamic world. It’s multiethnic, multilinguistic, multinational. He is a combat veteran, three times wounded. He has a huge reputation in the Islamic world for generosity and leadership. He’s a man who speaks eloquent, almost poetic Arabic, according to Bernard Lewis. – Michael Scheuer
• He discusses his service in Iraq, the wounds he suffered there and he says to me in this ad, until you have the guts to call me a phony soldier to my face, stop telling lies about my service. You know, this is such a blatant use of a valiant combat veteran, lying to him about what I said, and then strapping those lies to his belt, sending him out via the media and a TV ad, to walk into as many people as he can walk into. – Rush Limbaugh
• He hasn’t lost his vision. That’s one thing. He’s good. The guy is smooth and knows how to set up blocks. He’s a veteran, too. It’s fun to watch him run. Hopefully everything works out all right physically, but certainly he looks good so far. – Jake Delhomme
• He was a combat veteran from Korea, and he was a great father. – Mike Pence
• Heroism is latent in every human soul – However humble or unknown, they (the veterans) have renounced what are accounted pleasures and cheerfully undertaken all the self-denials – privations, toils, dangers, sufferings, sicknesses, mutilations, life-long hurts and losses, death itself – for some great good, dimly seen but dearly held. – Joshua Chamberlain
• Honor to the soldier and sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country’s cause. Honor, also, to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field and serves, as he best can, the same cause. – Abraham Lincoln

• I am convinced that America’s great sea of goodwill can be, in fact, a rising tide, a tide that could lift every veteran and every family of our wounded and fallen. – Michael Mullen
• I am not a veteran environmentalist. I don’t live in a house made of recycled tires, I’ve never handcuffed myself to a tree, and I don’t grow my own organic rutabaga. – Christy Mathewson
• I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow cells. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. – Martin Luther King, Jr.
• I can’t imagine anybody disagrees with President Trump when he says, if we don’t take care of our veterans, who are we really as a nation? -Kellyanne Conway
• I come from a district where the veterans are not the richest in the country. – Corrine Brown
• I feel a sense of obligation to our troops and their families because of the decisions that I made. So I’m involved with veterans. – George W. Bush
• I had lots of friends who were fighting in Vietnam and I am still friends with veterans of the war. – Gordon Lightfoot
• I had the privilege and the honor of chairing the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs. And it is interesting to me, you know, Republicans give a lot of speeches about how much they love veterans. I work with the American Legion, the VFW, the DAV, the Vietnam Vets, and virtually every veterans organization to put together the most comprehensive piece of the veterans legislation in the modern history of America. That’s what I did. – Bernie Sanders
• I have gone to all over the country and I’ve met so many veterans and I have tremendous veteran support. – Donald Trump
• I have to say I have the most experience. I’m a veteran when it comes to that, [my brothers] they’re still learning. They have lots of potential. They’re like first-round picks right now in the game, they still have to develop. – P. K. Subban
• I know the veterans. I know them well. And I know that they know that I’ll take care of them. And I’ve been proud of their support and their recognition of my service to the veterans. – John McCain
• I love the veterans. And I’ll take care of them. And they know that I’ll take care of them. And that’s going to be my job. But, also, I have the ability, and the knowledge, and the background to make the right judgments, to keep America safe and secure. – John McCain
• I love when I am around a veteran in [show] business. Because I can dig and ask questions, and find out the “who” and “what” of it all. – Jill Scott
• I never thought of serving as a conflict of interest, that would have been a luxury! I just needed something to survive. Initial needs have to be met first, and then later things like patriotism come in. – Donna M. Loring
• I offer a better way for America with ideas that actually work, a reformed tax code that rewards free enterprise instead of just enterprising lobbyists. A reformed health care system that operates by free choice instead of by force and doesn’t leave you answering to cold, clueless bureaucrats. A commitment to a renewed commitment to building a 21st Century military and giving our veterans the care that they were promised and the care that they earned. – Paul Ryan
• I oppose U.S. military intervention in Iraq. I believe that we should not send troops or engage in air strikes-our nation’s military involvement needs to be over. The United States has already spent billions of dollars in Iraq while our nation has endured a crumbling infrastructure, cuts to our social programs, a lack of investment in job training and creation, and sadly, a failure to take care of our veterans. Let’s focus our resources at home. Over 4000 men and women have sacrificed their lives for Iraq. That is enough. – Janice Hahn
• I personally found Donald Trump’s praise for Vladimir Putin troubling or even chilling, frankly. In a room full of military veterans, to be effusing about his great leadership and how strong he is and how popular he is, while disrespecting the American president and American generals, I don’t know. That was, I think, not just troubling to me, but to a lot of listeners and I think, frankly, to a lot of Republican listeners as well. – Philip Gordon
• I play an 89-year-old man whose wife has Alzheimer’s in a movie called ‘Still.’ I play a World War II veteran, I acted with my son and it’s called ‘Memorial Day.’ – James Cromwell
• I put the Vietnam War behind me a long time ago, and what I wanted to (do) among other things was help veterans also be able to come all the way home as some of our veterans have not been able to do. But I harbor no anger nor rancor. I’m a better man for my experience, and I’m grateful for having the opportunity of serving. – John McCain
• I said you [Mike Pence] can’t give me this [Purple Heart]. He said, “Mr. Trump you mean so much to me and my family.” You know we’re doing very well with the veterans. I know you guys do not like to say that. – Donald Trump
• I see what those people [veterans] are going through. To see a doctor, sometimes it takes six and seven days and then you finally get there and the doctor is gone on vacation. – Donald Trump
• I started a theater called Steppenwolf. We’ve been very supportive of the veterans there. – Gary Sinise
• I think America as a whole has come more to terms with separating war from the warrior. – Jeffrey Dunn
• I think our veterans certainly deserve and have earned the best health care in the world. – Phil Roe
• I think that the needs of the VA and the needs of the veteran community are very, very significant. Цe’re talking about a VA system in which, in the last years a million-and-a-half more people have come into the system. You’re dealing with 500,000 people have come home from Iraq an Afghanistan with PTSD and TBI. You’re dealing with an older veterans population from World War II and Korea who need some difficult medical help. We want to see it be more efficient. We want to see doctors go to where they’re needed.- Bernie Sanders
• I think the choice option is critical to give the veteran an opportunity, if they choose to do so, to opt out. We have done that in this particular piece of legislation for those that have been waiting in line, and particularly for those that live 40 miles or more from a VA facility. – Jeff Miller
• I think the President’s decision to withdraw the United States, to keep a campaign promise in Iraq, without leaving a stay-behind force was a mistake, and I hear that from veterans in Wyoming and from parents who lost children fighting in Iraq. We’re seeing it, though, around the world. When we, the United States leads a vacuum anywhere, that emboldens others to go in, when there is no sense of deterrence by the United States that lets bad actors move and fill the void. – John Barrasso
• I think there’s where we can enlist the veterans service organizations, the veterans of America, because, yes, let’s fix the V.A., but we will never let it be privatized, and that is a promise. – Hillary Clinton
• I think we’re being laughed at all over the world. I think that if you look at our military, we can’t beat ISIS, General George Patton, General Douglas MacArthur are spinning in their grave. We can’t beat ISIS, okay? I think that our veterans are not taken care of, they’re treated worse than illegal immigrants, by the way. – Donald Trump
• I want people to get involved and to connect with veterans. – Max Martini
• I want to be sure…that nothing is done on these veterans. Is that understood?…Is the word out? That they are not to touch em, they are not to do a thing?…Get a hold of the district police; they’re not to touch them, they’re to do nothing: Just let em raise Hell. – Richard M. Nixon
• I was a veteran, before I was a teenager. – Michael Jackson
• I was born in Munich, and my father was stationed in Salzburg. For the first three years of my life, I lived in Austria back when the American Army was still in Austria. I grew up subsequently in posts around the country around veterans. – Rick Atkinson
• I was elected by the Democrats to be chair of the Veterans Committee, which I’m very proud of. And now am the rankings member on the Budget Committee, leader of the Democrats in opposition to the majority Republicans. – Bernie Sanders
• I was there. I saw your sons and your husbands, your brothers and your sweethearts. I saw how they worked, played, fought, and lived. I saw some of them die. I saw more courage, more good humor in the face of discomfort, more love in an era of hate and more devotion to duty than could exist under tyranny. – Bob Hope
• I would like to say something, not just to Vietnam veterans in New England, but to men who were in Vietnam, who I hurt, or whose pain I caused to deepen because of the things that I said or did. I was trying to help end the killing and the war, but there were times when I was thoughtless and careless about it and I’m…very sorry that I hurt them. And I want to apologize to them and their families. – Jane Fonda
• I would not call myself a veteran conspiracy theorist. Or an obsessed one. I pretty much peaked on the whole conspiracy theory thing in the ’60s, with the grassy knoll, who really killed JFK, and who ordered the hit on Lee Harvey Oswald. – Patti Davis
• I’d like to give every young teacher some good news. Teaching is a very easy job. Administrators will tell you what to do. You’ll be given books and told chapters to assign the children. Veteran teachers will show you the correct way to fill out forms and have your classes line up.And here’s some more good news. If you do all of these things badly, they let you keep doing it. You can go home at three o’clock every day. You get about three months off a year. Teaching is a great gig.However, if you care about what you’re doing, it’s one of the toughest jobs around. – Rafe Esquith
• If you listen closely to the voices of our veterans, you understand that yes, they all returned from war changed, but what never changed is this: They never forgot your generosity. They never forgot the power of opportunity. They never forgot the American dream. – Michael Mullen
• I’m a veteran, and I’ve earned the right to be heard. I’ll lead by example and show that gay players are no different from straight ones. I’m not the loudest person in the room, but I’ll speak up when something isn’t right. And try to make everyone laugh. – Jason Collins
• I’m ashamed that Congress finds billions for pork-barrel subsidies but fails to find money for veterans’ health care. – John McCain
• I’m just one example of thousands of transgender veterans and people who are actively serving today. – Allyson Robinson
• I’m sick of the cover-ups, I’m sick of the lies, and so are the bloody veterans, that come out daily of the department’s mouth. – Malcolm Turnbull
• In a fire you have to be thoughtful, you have to have a certain kind of intuitive smarts that the veterans have. I’m not there yet, despite the Stanford degree.- Caroline Paul
• In addition to demanding answers and accountability from the Veterans Administration, Congress had to act to ensure veterans do not suffer because of the actions of a federal agency. – Doc Hastings
• In climbing, a fundamental thing is to want to do something you’ve never done before. That’s the beauty of climbing, whether you’re a girl or boy, seasoned veteran or beginner. You’re not sure you’ll be able to do this, but you try, and discovering you are capable is an amazing experience and an amazing feeling. – Chris Sharma
• In mid-May, the House of Representatives approved the full amount of money that the Veterans Administration said was needed for next year – plus an additional $1 billion increase for veterans’ health care. – Doc Hastings
• In researching this volume, I interviewed veterans who had been at the front during World War II. I read countless books, examined film footage, and listened to many detailed and intense stories firsthand, but the one comment that affected me the most came from a former soldier who lowered his gaze to the tabletop and said, ‘I never watch war movies. – Hiromu Arakawa
• In spite of the incident, my experience in Kansas City was wonderful and I thank all the warm and supportive people, including so many veterans, who came to welcome me last night. – Jane Fonda
• It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you. – Dick Cheney
• It is impossible not to recognise the Long March as one of the great triumphs of men against odds and men against nature. While the Red Army was unquestionably in forced retreat, its toughened veterans reached their planned objective with moral and political will as strong as ever… Their conviction had helped turn what might have been a terrible defeat into an arrival in triumph. – Edgar Snow
• It is time to acknowledge the extraordinary sacrifice of all of our veterans. While many Massachusetts soldiers served our nation in a period technically dubbed ‘peacetime,’ they restored American pride in the wake of Vietnam and helped bring a successful end to the Cold War. The service of these men and women was not without cost. There are countless stories of soldiers who served with great distinction only to be denied veteran status after returning home. Every man and woman who volunteered to serve this country should be treated with the same degree of respect, gratitude and dignity. – Mitt Romney
• It’s the only call…To have Christian Ponder as your third quarterback, a guy who started for you a year, to me it made it an easy call because you have a veteran guy who has played in this atmosphere before. – Bill Cowher
• It’s horrible to think that a small cadre of people would manipulate that information. I mean, for God’s sake, we’ve admitted that we were experimenting on our veterans with mustard gas. So there is no security question. It can’t possibly be the reason. – Dwight Schultz
• It’s important for me to highlight my views for veterans who’ve fought for America and at the same time don’t have anything to show for it. It’s kind of dear to me. – 2 Chainz
• It’s quite a traumatic thing for a lot of our veterans that come back… You’re in a war zone, you’re dodging IED’s and bullets one day and a couple days later you’re back in society again with a bunch of people that have no idea of what you’ve been through. – Charlie Daniels
• I’ve been described as a grizzled political veteran. – Joe Klein
• I’ve shared meditation with a lot of hip-hop artists, inmates, and returning war veterans with PTSD, as well. I feel like this dharma, this service is part of my job. – Russell Simmons
• Karl Malone used a lot of veteran stuff that I thought was cool. – Tim Duncan
• Like the archers of Agincourt, John O’Neal and the 254 Swiftboat Veterans took down their own haughty Frenchman. – Ann Coulter
• Lilian Ross was a – veteran writer for The New Yorker. She, in fact, brought me to The New Yorker many years ago. – Nat Hentoff
• Love me or hate me, it’s one or the other. Always has been. Hate my game, my swagger. Hate my fadeaway, my hunger. Hate that I’m a veteran. A champion. Hate that. Hate it with all your heart. And hate that I’m loved, for the exact same reasons. – Kobe Bryant
• Madison Square Garden, November 1984. I don’t recall taking too much fear into the ring. I knew I could fight. But I got a big shock. They put me in with this rough, tough veteran called Lionel Byarm. He tested me to the limit. But I fought my heart out and, in the end, I prevailed. The story of my life, in my very first fight. – Evander Holyfield
• Makin’ veterans run for medicine, Cause I put out more lights in a fight than ConEdison.- Kool G Rap
• Marriage – as its veterans know well – is the continuous process of getting used to things you hadn’t expected. – Thomas Mullen
• Memorial Day isn’t just about honoring veterans, its honoring those who lost their lives. Veterans had the fortune of coming home. For us, that’s a reminder of when we come home we still have a responsibility to serve. It’s a continuation of service that honors our country and those who fell defending it. – Pete Hegseth
• More and more teams are using almost exclusively the draft to build their teams. And that means you have younger players to develop in those key depth positions. Younger players are more susceptible to streaks than veterans. They go up, they go down. – Ozzie Newsome
• More importantly, if you are in a position to hire, hire a veteran. They will be the best employees you have. – Eric Shinseki
• More often than not, you find players seeing something that they can help another player with or reinforce something the coaches are seeing. Veterans do that regularly with younger players. – Brendan Daly
• Mortgage is one of the most popular deductions. It costs the Treasury about $103 billion a year. Now that’s money we could use to treat wounded veterans or reduce the deficit or fill the border. Instead, we give it a subsidy to homeowners, and it goes mainly to the richest homeowners in America, because only one third of Americans itemize their deductions. It doesn’t work. Many countries have gotten rid of the mortgage interest deduction. Almost all of them have higher homeownership rates than we do. – T.R. Reid
• Muddy language is not confined to policies alone. Each of you has seen replies to simple questions in which the meaning was lost through hopelessly obscure wording. When a person writes to the Veterans Administration, he is entitled to an easily understood, frank, and courteous reply. If our replies cannot be understood, they are not only not worth writing, but they simply create additional work. – Omar N. Bradley
• My daddy was a veteran, and it’s something dear to my heart. I helped him, he stayed with me until he passed away, and I’m not sure what kind of life he would have had if I wasn’t there for him. – 2 Chainz
• My wartime experiences developing a code that utilized the Navajo language taught how important our Navajo culture is to our country. For me that is the central lesson: that diverse cultures can make a country richer and stronger. – Chester Nez
• NBA has a selfish rationale. It saves the owners money by delaying the time a player gets to a second, more lucrative contract. Even the player’s union is on board. There are only 450 jobs in the NBA, and the one-and-done protects veterans’ jobs. – Sonny Vaccaro
• No administration in recent times has been able to tackle the needs of our veterans. On that, I do want to see Donald Trump successful. But in terms of his travel ban and immigration policy, I don’t want to see him successful. – Nina Turner
• No capitalists after any war were ever so well paid for money loaned to the nation that carried it on. No class of money-makers ever gained such prosperity by any other war, as our War for the Union brought to the money-getters of America. All this was due in great measure to the rank and file of the Union army. Now let no rich man haggle with a needy veteran of that war about his right to a pension! – Rutherford B. Hayes
• Now therefore, be it Resolved by the Fiftieth Annual Convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, That we hereby declare that we are unalterably opposed to any program which would entail the surrender of any part of the sovereignty of the United States of America in favor of a world government. – Unknown
• Oklahomans value our children and our seniors. Oklahomans value traditions of faith. Oklahomans value our heroes, our veterans. Oklahomans value innovation and the creative arts. – Brad Henry
On the battlefield, the military pledges to leave no soldier behind. As a nation, let it be our pledge that when they return home, we leave no veteran behind. – Dan Lipinski
• Once over there [Balkans], I felt extremely patriotic. Here are these people, from 18-year-olds to military veterans, enduring real duress for the cause of peace. I don’t ever want to play for a regular audience again, only military folks who are starving for music. – Sheryl Crow
• One of my favorite episodes in West Wing was the homeless man that died and they found, in the overcoat he was wearing, a card of the speechwriter, Toby. He had given that coat to the Goodwill and this guy had ended up wearing it, died in it and Toby went to his funeral. He turned out to be a Korean war veteran. It was our first Christmas episode and that was a true story – a member of the staff had done exactly that. So many of these stories were far better than any fiction. – Martin Sheen
• One out of four people internationally believe if their country goes to war, The United States would be the opponent. As a veteran, I hang my head in shame over that. – Jesse Ventura
• One third of the $15 trillion of mortgages in existence in 2008 are owned, or securitized by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae, the Federal Housing and the Veterans Administration. Wall Street buyers of repackaged loans didn’t mind buying risky paper because they assumed that they would be guaranteed by the federal government: read bailout from the taxpayers. Today’s housing mess can be laid directly at the feet of Congress and the White House. – Walter E. Williams
• Our veterans are not being treated well. Our veterans, in many cases, are being treated worse than illegal immigrants, people that come into our country illegally. Our veterans are not being treated well. And, by the way, Hillary Clinton has been doing this for 35 years. Now she says she can do it? She doesn’t have a clue. – Donald Trump
• Our veterans connect generations and Canadians. As a country and as individuals, we gain in pride and in purpose from their deeds and their service. – Paul Martin
• Our veterans deserve the very best, and that means ensuring that America’s veterans receive high-quality services and cares when they come back home. – Elizabeth Warren
• Our veterans know the meaning of service better than anyone else and they aren’t about to quit working when they come home. The best reward we can provide our vets for their service isn’t a medal or a check; it’s a livelihood and a means of supporting themselves and their families. – Mitt Romney
• Outside of being a hit maker, I want to also be a star maker. Me being so young still as a veteran in the game, I wanted to give back to the youth and give back to my community. I want to find somebody that’s special and birth them to the world. – Sean Garrett
People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.- Richard Grenier
• Phil Gramm had a stump speech about how his mother’s devotion kept him from being an academic failure in life. She got him into a special school that turned him around – under a government program for the children of deceased veterans. He was repeatedly asked at press conferences why he would then turn around and support draconian cuts in federal funding for education. He never had an answer. – Gail Collins
• Republicans talk a good game about veterans, but when it came to put money on the line to protect our veterans, frankly, they were not there. – Bernie Sanders
• Romney still enjoys the Republicans’ traditional advantage among voters who are veterans, but the Obama campaign is confident it can chip away at that. – Mara Liasson
• Science is nothing but trained and organized common sense differing from the latter only as a veteran may differ from a raw recruit: and its methods differ from those of common sense only as far as the guardsman’s cut and thrust differ from the manner in which a savage wields his club. – Thomas Huxley
• Secretary [Hillary ] Clinton is absolutely right, there are people, Koch brothers among others, who have a group called Concerned Veterans of America, funded by the Koch brothers. The Koch brothers, by the way, want to destroy Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, every governmental program passed since the 1930s. Yes, there are people out there who want to privatize it. – Bernie Sanders
• Since the Revolution, eight generations of America’s veterans have established an unbroken commitment to freedom. – Steve Buyer
• SNAP is a critical anti-hunger program that feeds millions of low income Americans, including children, veterans, and seniors who would not otherwise have the resources to buy groceries. – Dan Maffei
• So when someone, a veteran stands up and say, “Here are the facts on the VA.” He [Donald Trump] says, “No, your facts are wrong.” Turns out her facts are right and his facts are wrong. – John McCain
• Susan Campbell has brought Isabella’s fascinating forgotten story back to life with the deep research of a born historian and the vibrant readable prose style of a veteran journalist. – Debby Applegate
• Thank you for the sacrifices you and your families are making. Our Vietnam Veterans have taught us that no matter what are positions may be on policy, as Americans and patriots, we must support all of our soldiers with our thoughts and our prayers. – Zach Wamp
• That was not the biggest battle that ever was, but for me it always typified one thing; the dash, the ingenuity, the readiness at the first opportunity that characterizes the American soldier. – Dwight D. Eisenhower
• That’s what makes America great; the fabric and the core of our beliefs and our being is we wrap ourselves around diversity. We say that the American flag represents our right to be free in every aspect of what that is, and every veteran who fought, fought for that freedom. So what we have to do is realize it’s not a choice between the country and racial justice; it’s about what we believe in at the core of our being, and that’s that we are free. – Jennifer Welter
The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding go out to meet it. – Thucydides
• The Bush administration has been doing everything it can to hide the huge number of returning veterans who are severely wounded – 17,000 so far including roughly 20 percent with serious brain and head injuries. Even the estimate of $500 billion ignores the lifetime disability and healthcare costs that taxpayers will have to spend for years to come. – Joseph Stiglitz
• The Chinese soldier was tough, brave, and experienced. After all he had been fighting on his own without help for years. He was a veteran among the Allies. – William Slim, 1st Viscount Slim
• The general’s staff is a handpicked collection of killers, spies, geniuses, patriots, political operators and outright maniacs. There’s a former head of British Special Forces, two Navy Seals, an Afghan Special Forces commando, a lawyer, two fighter pilots and at least two dozen combat veterans and counterinsurgency experts. They jokingly refer to themselves as Team America, taking the name from the South Park-esque sendup of military cluelessness, and they pride themselves on their can-do attitude and their disdain for authority. – Michael Hastings
• The issue of torture, connected to American soldiers, is not somewhere most people want to linger. We may not want to confront this issue so much in the U.S. because of how we want to think about our veterans. There’s the sense that we want to think of our veterans as – if they’re damaged, damaged by something glamorous, like a firefight. – Russell Banks
• The last point that I’d make. I had a hearing. I had all of the veterans groups in front of me. And I said to them, tell me when a veteran gets in to the V.A., understanding there are waiting lines and real problems, when a veteran gets into the system, is the quality of care good? – Bernie Sanders
• The last two years, nationals have been close to home for me, so I’ve had big family support from friends and club support. Especially last year in Ottawa, I had a whole section my grandpa got for all my family, and the skating club (supported me). I feel like I’m a veteran at this now. – Alaine Chartrand
• The men and women of today’s VA are dedicated to caring for today’s veterans and stand ready to provide for our servicemembers who now defend our freedoms and our way of life. – Steve Buyer
• The moon gives you light, and the bugles and the drums give you music, and my heart, O my soldiers, my veterans, my heart gives you love. – Walt Whitman
• The most basic obligation we have to our veterans is that we keep the promises that were made to them. That is what makes the recent failures of the Veterans Administration so shameful. – Doc Hastings
• The need for this clinic is clear to me, to the veterans who are currently forced to travel hours to receive care, and even to the Veterans Administration that itself identified creation of a clinic in this part of our state as a priority to be completed by 2006. – Doc Hastings
• The nicest veterans in Schenectady, I thought, the kindest and funniest ones, the ones who hated war the most, were the ones who’d really fought. – Kurt Vonnegut
• The object of my relationship with Vietnam has been to heal the wounds that exist, particularly among our veterans, and to move forward with a positive relationship,… Apparently some in the Vietnamese government don’t want to do that and that’s their decision. – Ho Chi Minh Show source
• The Republican tax cut threatens to undercut both veterans health care and the veterans educational benefits that have been recognized for decades as not only the long-standing obligation of the Nation to its veterans, but also as the best recruiting incentives we can offer to keep our armed forces strong and sharp. – Lane Evans
• The rocks have a history; gray and weatherworn, they are veterans of many battles; they have most of them marched in the ranks of vast stone brigades during the ice age; they have been torn from the hills, recruited from the mountaintops, and marshaled on the plains and in the valleys; and now the elemental war is over, there they lie waging a gentle but incessant warfare with time and slowly, oh, so slowly, yielding to its attacks! – John Burroughs
• The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth disputed whether John Kerry deserved some of his five medals. A large part of Kerry’s defense was an appeal to the authority of veterans who supported him-one of whom has now been revealed to have received a medal he doesn’t deserve. This doesn’t prove the Kerry detractors were right, but it certainly doesn’t weaken their case. – James Taranto
• The United States government was proud that, although perhaps 100,000 Iraqis had died in the Gulf War of 1991, there were only 48 American battle casualties. What it has concealed from the public is that 206,000 veterans of that war filed claims with the VA for injuries and illnesses. In the years since that war, 8,300 veterans have died, and 160,000 claims for disability have been recognized by the VA. – Howard Zinn
• The Veteran’s Administration is a disaster, the V.A., it’s a disaster. – Donald Trump
• The Veteran’s History Project, a nationwide volunteer effort to collect oral histories from America’s war veterans, provides an avenue to do just that. Now in its fifth year, the Project has collected more than 40,000 individual stories. – Spencer Bachus
• The way to balance the budget is for Congress to cut Social Security, move the retirement age to 70, cut defense, Medicare and veterans pensions, while the states cut almost everything else. It would be tough but we could do it. – Howard Dean
The willingness of America’s veterans to sacrifice for our country has earned them our lasting gratitude. – Jeff Miller
• The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive the Veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation. – George Washington
• The winning team has a dedication. It will have a core of veteran players who set the standards. They will not accept defeat. – Merlin Olsen
• There is a massive problem with veteran suicides. – Eric Bolling
• There is a sort of veteran women of condition, who, having lived always in the grand mode, and having possibly had some gallantries, together with the experience of five and twenty or thirty years, form a young fellow better than all the rules that can be given him. – Lord Chesterfield
• There will be no veterans of World War III. – Walter F. Mondale
• There would be a paragraph about some veteran digging tunnels for the Germans in a slave labor camp, or something like that. Finally I decided to look it up and go further into it. – Charles Guggenheim
• These men were wrongfully rejected, the veterans. The fighting man should never have been blamed for Vietnam. – Neil Sheehan
• This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave. – Elmer Davis
• This year’s Veterans Day celebration is especially significant as our country remains committed to fighting the War on Terror and as brave men and women are heroically defending our homeland. – John Doolittle
• To the Cold War veterans here, know that your steadfast efforts preserved a delicate balance, and, because of you, the global war that many feared never came to pass. We are thankful for you, as we are for all the veterans here with us. – Michael Mullen
• To those seniors, and especially elderly veterans like myself, I want to tell you this: You are not alone, and you having nothing to be ashamed of. If elder abuse happened to me, it can happen to anyone. I want you to know that you deserve better. – Mickey Rooney
• Today at Pearl Harbor, veterans are gathering to pay tribute to the young men they remember who never escaped the sunken ships. And over the years, some Pearl Harbor veterans have made a last request. They ask that their ashes be brought down and placed inside the USS Arizona. After the long lives given them, they wanted to rest besides the best men they ever knew. Such loyalty and love remain the greatest strength of the United States Navy. – George W. Bush
• Twenty-five million veterans are living among us today. These men and women selflessly set aside their civilian lives to put on the uniform and serve us. – Steve Buyer
• Twenty-two suicides a day from our veterans. Do you believe that number? Twenty-two a day. – Donald Trump
• Valor is stability, not of legs and arms, but of courage and the soul. – Michel de Montaigne
• Veteran art creates a meeting place between veterans and civilians, or simply between veterans with different experiences. – Phil Klay
• Veterans get priority in the training room and better parking, but there is not a whole lot of difference in terms of how they’re treated in the competition for playing time. To me it doesn’t matter if a guy is a 10-year veteran or a rookie. If the rookie is better, he finds his way onto the field. – Brendan Daly
• Veterans’ issues are quite close to my heart. I find it quite hard to talk about, actually. – John Oliver
• Veterans report that service dogs help break their isolation. People will often avert their eyes when they see a wounded veteran. But when the veteran has a dog, the same people will come up and say, ‘Hi’ to pet the dog and then strike up a conversation. – Al Franken
• We are dealing with veterans, not procedures; with their problems, not ours. – Omar N. Bradley
• We can’t equate spending on veterans with spending on defense. Our strength is not just in the size of our defense budget, but in the size of our hearts, in the size of our gratitude for their sacrifice. And that’s not just measured in words or gestures. – Jennifer Granholm
• We do not need to have a president who insults Mexicans and Latinos and Muslims and women and veterans and African-Americans, we need a president who brings us together, not divides us up. – Bernie Sanders
• We don’t attack any veteran, at all, ever, for their service record. We thank them. And the fact that somebody wanted to do that for political gain, shows the desperation of which some people unfortunately in the Republican Party want to keep and seize power. – Matt Shea
• We have a very large military community – veterans and others – who basically do believe in the militarism. – Julianne Malveaux
• We have the greatest people on Earth in our military. We don’t take care of our veterans. – Donald Trump
• We have to change that whole system [of veterans support]. It starts with management. We have to have a whole different set of protocols. And we have to get people off the lines. – Donald Trump
• We have to have an aggressive, long-term plan to tackle our nation’s debt, but attempting to balance the budget on the backs of veterans who have risked life and limb in service of our country is unacceptable. I believe we can and should work together to find reasonable and common-sense cuts that will reduce our debt, but as a generation of warriors returns from two wars, our most solemn responsibility is to make sure they have the care and benefits they have earned. – Tim Walz
• We know about General John Kelly’s military experience and his record there and being a decorated veteran of combat over in Iraq in particular. In fact, that’s where I first met him was when Ramadi was shot to shambles during the surge era. We took a ride around there, even a minaret was shot in half and he pointed to that and said we were taking fire from that minaret. My son took that down with a 20 milimeter cannon. That’s my first impression of John Kelly. – Steve King
• We must do everything we can to help our service members and veterans transition into civilian life once they return home, and that means preparing them for the tough job market. – Kirsten Gillibrand
• We need our veterans to set an example, like being the first ones there. A veteran is entitled to a bigger paycheck, but not a special set of rules. – Jim Leyland
• We need to fix the military, help veterans, our inner cities are a disaster, you get shot walking to the store. We cannot take 4 more years of Barack Obama, and that’s what you get if you get Hillary Clinton. – Donald Trump
• We respect everybody’s individual opinion, and we have so much respect for veterans. We’re probably one of the biggest movie employer of veterans. – Ian Bryce
• We salute our veterans of Pearl Harbor and World War II, whose sacrifices saved democracy during a dark hour. In their memory, a new generation of our Armed Forces goes forward against new enemies in a new era. Once again, we pledge to defend freedom, secure our homeland, and advance peace around the world. Americans have been tested before, and our Nation will triumph again. – George W. Bush
• We sit at our consoles and play “Gears of War”, but we don’t see images from war. We don’t turn on the news and see the evidence of war, the result of war. Maybe twice a year, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, we’ll go out, we’ll hang our flags, we’ll try to inculcate in our children some sense of national honor for the fallen. But really, we don’t see it. We just don’t see the pictures. There’s no drive-by on the freeway of death up close. So we don’t really see bravery. – Jamie Lee Curtis
• We, too, born to freedom, and believing in freedom, are willing to fight to maintain freedom. We, and all others who believe as deeply as we do, would rather die on our feet than live on our knees. – Franklin D. Roosevelt
• We’ve got to continue to find ways to honor our 25 million veterans that have served our country with such honor and distinction. – Zach Wamp
What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight – it’s the size of the fight in the dog. – Dwight D. Eisenhower
• What happened after World War I was disgraceful. Most veterans, like my great-uncle, were squashed back into place. Congress couldn’t pass an anti-lynching bill. The World War II generation, though, wasn’t going to take it. – Darryl Pinckney
• What I do see is the right from the beginning that [Donald] Trump had an interest and was very persuasive in terms of talking about the veterans and needing to make changes there. – Kimberly Guilfoyle
• What I think people should realize is that programs like Social Security, programs like Medicare, programs like the Veterans Administration, programs like your local park and your local library – those are, if you like, socialist programs; they’re run by [and] for the public, not to make money. I think in many ways we should expand that concept so that the American people can enjoy the same benefits that people all over the world are currently enjoying. – Bernie Sanders
• When a guy running for president will not support the troops, not support veterans, not support teachers, that’s really important. – Tim Kaine
• When I first went to jail in 1960 with seven classmates trying to use their public library against the backdrop of my father being a veteran of World War II, not being able to use – having to sit behind Nazi on American military bases, I lost my fear of jails and death. – Jesse Jackson
• When I raise money for the veterans, and it’s a massive amount of money, find out how much Hillary Clinton’s given to the veterans. Nothing. – Donald Trump
• When I was building the Vietnam Memorial, I never once asked the veterans what it was like in the war, because from my point of view, you don’t pry into other people’s business. – Maya Lin
• When it comes to standing up for veterans, we cannot be the Republicans and Democrats, we have to be the red, white, and blue party. – Barbara Mikulski
• When Sarah Palin goes out and says this [about her son] is because of this [ post-traumatic stress disorder], it`s actually not because of this. And now it sort of gives the idea that all veterans are going to pick up a weapon and shoot somebody, or all veterans are going to hit somebody. – Jon Soltz
• When the peace treaty is signed, the war isn’t over for the veterans, or the family. It’s just starting. – Karl Marlantes
• When the Veterans Affairs Department implemented a program to provide home-based health care to veterans with multiple chronic conditions – many of the systems most expensive patients to treat – they received astounding results. – Ron Wyden
• When you have 8,000 veterans a year committing suicide, then you have a serious problem. – Johnny Isakson
• When you run for president of the United States, everybody does the same thing in the campaign-they talk about veterans, how much they admire them, how grateful they are. – Mark Shields
• Whether you’re a veteran like me or a high school athlete, the most important thing you can do is keep your body healthy. – Jason Terry
• While millions of American families, including mine and yours, were working hard paying our fair share, it seems Donald Trump was contributing nothing to our nation. Imagine that. Not fair. Nothing for Pell grants to help kids go to college. Nothing for veterans. Nothing for our military. – Hillary Clinton
• While only one day of the year is dedicated solely to honoring our veterans, Americans must never forget the sacrifices that many of our fellow countrymen have made to defend our country and protect our freedoms. – Randy Neugebauer
• While we have made great progress in increasing funding for veterans’ benefits, we still have a long way to go in fully meeting the promise to our veterans. – Sue Kelly
• You can take the best team and the worst team and line them up and you would find very little physical difference. You would find an emotional difference. The wining team has a dedication. It will have a core group of veteran players who set the standards. They will not accept defeat. – Merlin Olsen
• You have to be a soldier and a veteran, or a soldier who sacrificed your life for your country. – Rashid Khalidi
• You’ve been told that you’re broken, that you’re damaged goods and should be labeled victims. I don’t buy it. The truth, instead, is that you are the only folks with the skills, determination, and values to ensure American dominance in this chaotic world. – James Mattis

Tuesday round-up
Yesterday the court decided one of the term’s most closely watched cases, Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, in which the justices held 7-2 that, by failing to exhibit religious neutrality when it required a Christian baker to make a cake for a same-sex wedding, a state commission violated the baker’s free-exercise rights. Amy Howe has this blog’s opinion analysis, which first appeared at Howe on the Court. Subscript has a graphic explainer for the decision. At The Daily Caller, Kevin Daly reports that “[t]hough the baker prevailed in Monday’s decision, the Court’s decision is narrow in the sense that the ruling is carefully fact-bound and does not address the major First Amendment question the case raised.” For the Los Angeles Times, David Savage writes that “[t]he outcome was not a clear win for either side in what has become one of the nation’s latest culture wars,” Additional coverage comes from Robert Barnes for The Washington Post, Mark Walsh for Education Week’s School Law Blog, Nina Totenberg at NPR, Josh Gerstein at Politico, Marcia Coyle and Tony Mauro at Law.com, Adam Liptak for The New York Times, Ariane de Vogue at CNN, Lydia Wheeler at The Hill, Greg Stohr at Bloomberg, Chris Geidner at BuzzFeed, Sam Baker at Axios, Jaclyn Belczyk at Jurist, Richard Wolf for USA Today, and Jess Bravin at The Wall Street Journal, who reports that the decision “all but ensured that the underlying conflict between gay-rights backers and religious conservatives soon would return to the court.”
At Take Care, Leah Litman contends that if the court “is serious about the reasoning and principles it articulated in Masterpiece Cakeshop, and it should be, then it should reject several of the arguments that have been used [in Trump v. Hawaii] to defend the entry ban.” Additional commentary comes from Michael Dorf at his eponymous blog, Robert George in an op-ed for The New York Times, the editorial board of The Washington Post, Rick Hills at PrawfsBlawg, Ian Millhiser at ThinkProgress, Jennifer Rubin in an op-ed for The Washington Post, Erica Goldberg at PrawfsBlawg, Jennifer Finney Boylan in an op-ed for The New York Times, Noah Feldman in an op-ed for Bloomberg, Lisa Keen at Keen News Service, Michael Farris at National Review, Mark Joseph Stern at Slate, Scott Skinner-Thompson, also at Slate, Ruthann Robson at the Constitutional Law Prof Blog, Nonnie Shivers and Hera Arsen at Ogletree Deakins, Lisa Soronen at the National Conference of State Legislators Blog, Cassandra Robertson at PrawfsBlawg, Michael Bobelian at Forbes, David Cole in an op-ed for The Washington Post, Kristin Waggoner in an op-ed for Fox News, Sarah Posner at The Nation, Jessica Mason Pieklo at Rewire, Laura Huss, also at Rewire, Ryan Adler at Good Judgment, Jack Phillips in an op-ed for USA Today, Michael McConnell at Stanford Law School’s Legal Aggregate Blog, Howard Wasserman at PrawfsBlawg, Eric Posner and Glen Weyl at Vox, and Garrett Epps at The Atlantic, who suggests that “[t]he action in the Cakeshop opinions … involved jockeying for position in … future cases between the moderate liberals, led in this case by Justice Elena Kagan, and the hard-right conservatives, led here by Justice Neil Gorsuch.” In an op-ed for The Hill, James Gottry maintains that “[t]he Supreme Court’s decision simply clarifies that the government may not show hostility toward people of faith.”
The court also decided two sentencing cases yesterday. The first was Hughes v. United States, in which the justices held 6-3 that a defendant who pleads guilty in a plea deal can benefit from later changes in the sentencing guidelines so long as the district court relied on the guideline range in imposing the sentence or accepting the agreement. At the Pacific Legal Foundation blog, Anthony Francois remarks that “now in a couple of important criminal law decisions Justice Gorsuch has sided with what might simplistically be called the ‘liberal’ membership of the Court.” In Koons v. United States, a unanimous court held that defendants subject to mandatory minimums who received lower sentences because they helped the government are not eligible for further reductions if the guideline range is later lowered. Douglas Berman has this blog’s opinion analysis. Kent Scheidegger looks at yesterday’s sentencing decisions, along with a cert denial in a capital case, at Crime and Consequences.
In the fourth case decided yesterday, Lamar, Archer & Cofrin, LLP v. Appling, the court held that a false statement about a single asset can constitute a statement about a debtor’s financial condition under bankruptcy law. Erin McCarthy Holliday discusses the decision at Jurist. Mark Walsh has a “view” from the courtroom of today’s opinion announcements for this blog.
Yesterday the court also issued orders from last week’s private conference. The justices did not add any cases to their merits docket, but they did issue a long-awaited ruling in Azar v. Garza, vacating as moot a lower-court decision that cleared the way for a pregnant undocumented teenager held in a federal facility to obtain an abortion. Amy Howe has this blog’s coverage, which first appeared at Howe on the Court. For The Washington Post, Robert Barnes and Ann Marimow report that “[t]he action, which came in an unsigned opinion without noted dissents, throws out a precedent that might allow other teenagers in the same circumstance to obtain an abortion.” Additional coverage comes from Kevin Daley at The Daily Caller, Richard Wolf for USA Today, Josh Gerstein and Renuka Rayasam at Politico, Lydia Wheeler at The Hill, and Lawrence Hurley at Reuters, who reports that the court “declined to take up the administration’s request for disciplinary action against the American Civil Liberties Union lawyers who represented the girl,” and “allowed litigation to continue in lower courts concerning other detained immigrants in detention in … similar situations.” Commentary comes from Ian Millhiser at ThinkProgress and Imani Gandy at Rewire.
At the Pacific Legal Foundation’s blog, Timothy Snowball weighs in on Gundy v. United States, in which the justices will decide next term whether a provision of the federal sex-offender act violates the nondelegation doctrine, arguing that “the current intelligible principle standard for governing congressional re-delegations of its legislative power lacks a basis in the text and original meaning of the Constitution, [and] that it frustrates the democratic accountability of Congress, and leads to the violation of individual rights.” In an op-ed for The Hill, Mark Miller takes a similar view, maintaining that “this case is less about Gundy than it is about the Supreme Court reining in the regulatory state run amok, and requiring Congress to get back to doing its job.”
Briefly:
First Mondays (podcast) features a discussion of last week’s decisions.
At Medium, Grant Stern notes that “[t]he Miami-Dade County State’s Attorney just lost a major ruling in front of the Supreme Court” when the justices “declined to review McDonough vs. Fernandez-Rundle, the landmark appellate case which Katherine Fernandez-Rundle lost last year, that affirms citizens rights to surreptitiously record the police in the state of Florida.”
We rely on our readers to send us links for our round-up. If you have or know of a recent (published in the last two or three days) article, post, podcast, or op-ed relating to the Supreme Court that you’d like us to consider for inclusion in the round-up, please send it to roundup [at] scotusblog.com.

Titanic 20th Anniversary: Artworks Lost and Found at Sea
Twenty years ago on December 19, 1997, Titanic splashed onto the big screen, shattering box office records. It is one of those quintessentially ‘90s films that reminds an entire generation of being a certain age at a certain time in a certain place, particularly resonating with young people for its Romeo and Juliet get wet theme. The two intervening decades are enough to make us kids who came of age back then feel like old Rose.
Like its contemporary pop-culture opus, Clueless, which featured a work by Claes Oldenburg and coined the phrases “Botticelli chick” and “full-on Monet,” Titanic is liberally peppered with high-brow (albeit obvious) art history references. Rose’s first act upon boarding the ill-fated liner is to decorate her stateroom with what Cal calls her “finger paintings,” a collection of works by Monet, Degas, Cezanne, and “something Picasso.” Cal densely critiques, “Something Picasso...he won’t amount to a thing...at least they were cheap.”
Kate Winslet as Rose inspecting her “something” Picasso, based on Les Demoiselles d’Avignon that Picasso had finished five years before the Titanic sank.
Jack later admires her taste in art before adding his own contribution, the iconic nude sketch of Rose wearing the Heart of the Ocean.
The priceless masterpieces ultimately drift beneath the surface as the stateroom floods (by far the most tear-jerking scene for art nerds), and fortune hunters recover and restore Jack’s risque drawing almost a century after as the pivotal clue to the whereabouts of the diamond. Of course, art historians dispute that works by those artists went down on the Titanic, and a drawing on paper surviving 84 years under miles of ocean may seem a bit far fetched.
Even so, here are some true cases of artworks lost and/or found at sea which prove that there was more than a kernel of plausibility to James Cameron's epic.
Titanic: The Real Story
Copy of La Circassienne au Bain by John Parker, after an original by Merry-Joseph Blondel (left). Hecuba and Polyxena by Merry-Joseph Blondel, at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (right), giving some idea of what the original might have looked like stylistically.
The fictional plot points of sunken masterpieces, a nude artwork, and an insurance claim on an outrageously expensive diamond lost aboard the Titanic have echoes of the real-life story of La Circassienne au Bain. The enormous neoclassical painting of a nude beauty debuted at the Louvre in 1814 to limited fanfare, but grew in reputation and popularity over time. Tragically, the work went down on the Titanic while in the possession of Swedish businessman Mauritz Hakan Björnström-Steffanson. Steffansson, who survived the disaster, filed a compensation claim for over two million dollars in today’s money. Thus, the painting was the most valuable item lost in the sinking, analogous to the famous “Heart of the Ocean” in the film.
HMS Colossus
Sir William Hamilton by George Romney, at the National Gallery of Art Washington DC (left). Lady Hamilton as Bacchante by Louise Elisabeth Vigee Le Brun, at the Lady Lever Art Gallery (right).
Sir William Hamilton is known for his diplomatic service on the eve of the Napoleonic Wars and his scandalous open marriage with Lady Emma Hamilton. Emma was a famous beauty and artistic muse who inspired the likes of Vigee Le Brun, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Angelika Kauffmann, and George Romney. She also just happened to be the mistress of Britain’s greatest hero, Admiral Horatio Nelson, himself a married man.
Sir William’s scandalous personal life overshadows his artistic contributions. While British Ambassador to Naples on the eve of the Napoleonic Wars, he accumulated a plethora of artistic treasures and antiquities, contributing immeasurably to the collections of such venerable institutions as the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum. Unfortunately, part of his priceless collection of classical Greek vases went down aboard the HMS Colossus en route from Naples to Britain in 1798. However, salvage diver Roland Morris discovered the wreck in 1974, including shards of the broken vases. After nearly 200 years in darkness on the ocean floor, the reconstructed vases now sit proudly in the British museum for all to see.

Vrouw Maria
Illustration of the Vrouw Maria before her sinking (left). Catherine II by Johann Baptist von Lampi the Elder, at the Museum of Art History Vienna (right).
In 1771, the Vrouw Maria set sail from Amsterdam to Saint Petersburg laden with masterpieces by a who’s who of the Dutch Golden Age, including Paulus Potter, Gerard ter Borch, Cornelis Coedyk, Gabriel Metsu, Gerard Dou, and Philip Wouwerman. Especially notable among the works were Potter’s Large Herd of Oxen and Borch’s Woman at her Toilette. The paintings were personal possessions of Empress Catherine the Great of Russia, bound for her newly founded State Hermitage Museum, but the ship went down in a storm off of Finland.
The Young Bull by Potter, at the Mauritshuis (left), probably in the style of Large Herd of Oxen. Surviving version of Lady at her Toilette by ter Borch, at the Detroit Institute of Arts (left), probably similar in composition to the lost version.
Yet, the story doesn’t end there. When the wreck was discovered in 1999, the cargo hold was intact and undisturbed, meaning that the contents must still be inside. The cold temperatures and low salinity of the Baltic Sea are ideal for the preservation of soft, organic materials such as canvas and wood. Furthermore, the works were sealed in wax for shipping, so if water hadn’t penetrated the seal, the paintings may very well survive in near-pristine condition after two and a half centuries. Hopes to salvage the paintings have thus far come to nothing, but recovery efforts continue, led by the Finnish National Board of Antiquities.
SS Normandie
History of Navigation by Jean Dupas, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The French government subsidized the lavish design and construction of the SS Normandie, even as millions starved in the Great Depression and the spectre of World War II loomed on the horizon. She dwarfed all earlier liners (including the Titanic) in size, speed, luxury, and elegant aesthetics, winning an unofficial reputation as the most beautiful liner ever built. This was due in large part to Jean Dupas’ breathtaking Art Deco murals that adorned the first class salon. In fact, the Normandie’s sleek interiors were so influential that “ocean liner style” was synonymous with Art Deco throughout the 1930s. Fittingly for a ship described as a “temple of beauty,” the Normandie played host to the world’s rich and famous during the golden age of travel, including art world celebrities like Frida Kahlo and Salvador Dali.
Photographs of Kahlo and Dali taken aboard the SS Normandie at the height of her glamour.
When France fell to the Nazis in 1939, the US commandeered the Normandie to serve as a troopship, and stripped her of most her decorative fixtures and (ill-advisedly) her fire containment system. Consequently, the ship caught fire in 1942 and capsized in the Hudson River, thankfully sans Dupas’ murals. The section in the Met (top) is the only full corner surviving intact, giving a taunting glimpse of the overall effect.
Demise of the SS Normandie in New York Harbor, 1942. Fun fact! Alfred Hitchcock used the shipwreck in the filming of his wartime thriller, Saboteur.
Dress from the Deep
Dress circa early 17th Century, at the Kaap Skil Museum, Netherlands.
In 2015, divers off the coast of the Netherlands discovered this 17th-Century silken gown, kept incredibly well-preserved under the protective sand for nearly 400 years. The odyssey of this dress and the woman who wore it unfolded in a swashbuckling tale fit for a James Cameron blockbuster in and of itself. In 1642, Queen Henrietta Maria of England’s retinue set sail for the Netherlands with the purported purpose of escorting her daughter to be a royal bride, but actually on a top-secret mission to hock the crown jewels to raise funds for the English Civil war. Entrusted with this mission was the Queen’s lady-in-waiting, Jean Kerr, Countess of Roxburghe. Jean was an adept spy who had previously funneled communications to the King of Spain in the service of her former mistress, Anne of Denmark. The voyage went sour when part of the royal fleet sank in a storm.
Jean Kerr, Countess of Roxburghe by Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger, in a private collection (left). Princess Henrietta Maria of France, Queen Consort of England by Anthony van Dyck, at the San Diego Museum of Art (right), wearing clothing of the period.
Historians might never have drawn the connection between Jean Kerr and this dress, had not a 1642 letter resurfaced referring to the Queen’s ladies losing their wardrobe at sea. Additionally, a book discovered alongside the garment is embossed with the coat of arms of King Charles I, husband of Henrietta Maria. Researchers singled out Jean Kerr among the royal entourage, since the dress matched her measurements and the style she favored. No doubt, this miraculous rediscovery gives hope to the millions of fangirls hoping to get their hands on some of Rose’s bomb-ass wardrobe in Titanic.
Thus, our story comes to a close with the same moral lesson as Titanic: It’s never too late to get back your long-lost bling...
...or your long-lost art.

#OTD in 1920 – On hearing of British atrocities in Ireland, soldiers of the Connaught Rangers mutiny in protest; three are shot dead; a fourth, Private James Daly, is court-martialled and executed by firing squad.
The Connaught Rangers (The Devil’s Own) was an Irish line infantry regiment of the British Army originally raised in 1793 as the 88th Regiment of Foot (Connaught Rangers), which gained a reputation both for indiscipline and for its prowess as shock troops and streetfighters with the bayonet while serving under the Duke of Wellington during the Peninsular War in Spain.

Hyperallergic: Art Movements
Nari Ward, “Breathing Flag” (photo by Guillaume Ziccarelli, courtesy Creative Time)
Art Movements is a weekly collection of news, developments, and stirrings in the art world. Subscribe to receive these posts as a weekly newsletter.
A number of Confederate monuments were removed in the wake of last week’s deadly white supremacist and neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Protestors toppled a statue of a Confederate soldier in Durham, North Carolina, a 113-year-old statue nicknamed “Old Joe” was removed in Gainesville, Florida, and Baltimore’s City Council organized the removal of four statues during the early hours of Wednesday morning. Greg Fischer, the Mayor of Louisville, Kentucky, announced plans to review city sculptures that “can be interpreted to be honoring bigotry, racism and/or slavery.” Bill de Blasio, the mayor of New York City, announced a review of “all symbols of hate on city property” via Twitter on Wednesday afternoon.
Jeffrey Beebe debuted his Kickstarter-funded sculpture, “Trumpy the Rat,” during Monday’s protest outside Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue.
A 17-year-old vandalized the New England Holocaust Memorial in Boston — the second act of vandalism at the site in less than three months.
The NYPD are searching for three teenagers who vandalized headstones and spray-painted anti-Asian graffiti at Cypress Hills Cemetery in Queens.
Nari Ward’s “Breathing Flag” was hoisted at four museums across the US as part of Creative Time’s “Pledges of Allegiance” project. The work directly references the tri-color flag of Marcus Garvey’s Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) and includes a rendition of the Congolese Cosmogram. The symbol was drilled into the floor boards of the First African Baptist Church in Savannah, Georgia — one of the oldest African-American churches in the US — where it is thought to have doubled as air holes for runaway slaves passing below.
Philadelphia will unveil a statue of Octavius Catto next month — the first statue in the city to commemorate an African American.
The arts advocacy group Fractured Atlas launched “Artist Campaign School,” a nonpartisan initiative to encourage artists to run for political office.
The Dong-A transit company installed life-size statues of women in traditional hanbok dress on buses throughout Seoul. The statues refer to the abuse of “comfort women,” a colloquial term for the estimated 80,000-200,000 girls and women who were forced into sexual slavery during Japan’s 1910–1945 occupation of the Korean peninsula. Though Japan apologized for the women’s ordeal as part of a 2015 agreement, it has never accepted legal responsibility for the abuse.
Willem de Kooning, “Woman-Ochre” (1954–55) (courtesy University of Arizona Museum of Art)
Willem de Kooning’s “Woman-Ochre” (1954–55) was returned to the University of Arizona Museum of Art 32 years after it was stolen by an unidentified man and woman. The work was discovered by furniture and antiques dealer David Van Auke during a visit to an estate sale.
Vernon Rapley, the former head of Scotland Yard’s Art and Antiques Unit, told The Art Newspaper that he is “worried that the closure of the unit is now being considered.” The unit’s three detectives have been transferred to the Grenfell Tower investigation, with a Metropolitan Police spokesman refusing to say whether the detectives would return to the Art and Antiques Unit.
Chinese police forcefully evicted artists from the Iowa co-op in the Caochangdi art district in northeastern Beijing. According to ArtAsiaPacific, artists laid out a mock carpet for officials shortly before contractors began demolition work on the building.
London’s Garden Bridge project was officially scrapped after the Garden Bridge Trust announced that it had failed to raise private funding. London’s current mayor, Sadiq Khan, withdrew his support of the project — which was spearheaded by former mayor Boris Johnson — in April. A total of £46.4 million (~$59.7 million) in public money was spent on the abandoned project.
Big Ben will fall silent next week through 2021 as part of an essential restoration of Elizabeth Tower.
The memoirs of RB Kitaj (1932–2007) will be published in September, ten years after they were discovered among the artist’s possessions. The book includes a preface by David Hockney, a friend and fellow student of Kitaj’s, in which he condemns the “vicious [and] appalling” attacks leveled at the artist by critics.
The Norton Museum of Art announced the first exhibition of Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney‘s sculptures since her death in 1942.
