U.S. Rep. Greg Walden (R-Hood River) released a video message commemorating Veterans Day 2014. A transcript of his remarks is below: From our veterans of World War II to young men and women serving in Afghanistan and elsewhere around the world, we pause today to honor our veterans who have fought and died defending our freedom. Even today, while we sleep soundly here at home, American service members continue to fight and die for our country in far off places. For those who come home, we must ensure that we have the resources needed to care for them and their families and eventually to help them move into civilian life. For many veterans, service does not end when they take off the uniform. Many of them continue to serve in our communities, in public life, in small businesses, our schools, and other ways. Certainly, we owe veterans gratitude. But we owe them so much more than that. We owe them the very best care possible when they return, and we must ensure that they receive the benefits they've earned through years of service. Too often nationally, the Veterans Administration has sadly failed to live up to the standards our men and women in uniform deserve. Veterans have not always had access to the care they need in a timely manner. That's unacceptable, and there must be greater accountability. We've passed reform legislation to begin cleaning up the mess at the VA, and the agency has taken the first steps in implementing these reforms. This is a step in the right direction, but there's more work to be done. If you or a loved one run into problems with the VA or any other federal agency, please call my office toll free at 800-533-3303 or go online to walden.house.gov. I have three veterans on staff and together we will do everything we can to get results for you. So join me this Veterans Day in thanking veterans for their service to our nation in the cause of freedom. Thank you, veterans. God bless you. And God Bless America. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
