"We Still Need You"
Aired November 06, 2008
One of my injured friends told me that the hardest day of his life was when he was medically discharged from the Navy, and told that he was “unserviceable.”
Our wounded and disabled vets are serviceable. When we say “thank you,” they are glad to hear it. But they must also hear: “We still need you.”
