Our nation must come together to celebrate our veterans who have courageously defended our freedom, and honor the memory of the more than 4,400 American servicemen and women who have died in Iraq and more than 2,200 who have died in Afghanistan. We also honor the sacrifices of over 50,000 brave troops wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. “A grateful nation cares for its soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen, not only when they are abroad, but also upon their return home. Our veterans deserve quality job opportunities, superb healthcare, and the promise of college as they return from the frontlines, and I am committed to the more than 2 million troops and reservists, their families, and 22 million veterans, including 32,477 in the 18th Congressional District of Texas. “On the battlefield, the military pledges to leave no soldier behind; as a nation, it is our duty to leave no veteran behind. This day and every day, let us honor their service with actions that fulfill our commitment to our troops, their families, and our veterans – and that are worthy of our grateful nation.” ### Congresswoman Jackson Lee is a Democrat from Texas’s 18th Congressional District.
