McGovern: Seriously, we were worried. We actually started handing out missing person posters. Nobody has seen you for eight weeks. But, hey, I'm glad that you are ok. I'm glad you survived your nice, two-month paid vacation

“Our oaths did not expire simply because we took off the uniform.”

Former Navy pilot Ken Harbaugh shares a powerful Veterans Day message about service, sacrifice, and what real patriotism means — inspired by Marine Master Sgt. Mike “Top” Washington.

This Veterans Day, I’m thinking of the millions of Americans who have served in uniform — and how our government is failing them right now.

Words aren’t enough, we need actions. Fund the VA. Fund mental healthcare. And end endless wars.

I can enjoy my "Veteran's Day" again someday, perhaps. Not right now. My deepest respects, but during this time, I find it difficult to feel celebratory. Behavioral science shows what's happening to the nation I was born in, and it is grim.
