Thank you to U.S. veterans for your courage, dedication, & service! It’s not enough to verbally thank veterans & hold parades. Trump/GOP are gutting & cutting the Veterans Administration! We need to fund the Veterans Administration; provide veterans with benefits; access to healthcare; jobs etc.!🇺🇸
