In his speech Abraham Lincoln promised to care for those who
were wounded in battle. This was at the
end of the Civil War where many soldiers both Union and Confederate lost their
lives or badly wounded. Throughout
history, many brave men and women have dedicated their lives to protecting
their country’s freedom literally putting themselves in the jaws of death to do
so. To keep Lincoln’s promise alive, we
must do all that we can to support veterans who fight to preserve our
freedom. We can do this by helping them
transition from military to civilian life.
Helped them find jobs and assist them in their medical needs. More
importantly, we need to be there when they feel despair. They have done so much for us so we can do no
less.
