Paul Wellstone honoring veterans.

Remembering America's Patiots

Remarks of Senator Paul Wellstone
Before the 99th National Convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars
San Antonio, Texas, August 31, 1998

Now, I pose a question to you at this 99th convention. Have we as a nation, have we as a country done enough to give back to our veterans? Have we done enough?

Let me put it to you this way. I get so tired of all this discussion about politics as "left", "right" and "center". I don’t care about the labels. Nobody in Minnesota ever comes up to me and talks in those labels. Politics is about trying to do well for people.

While many of you — you are living proof of this — you served our country, you came back and you’ve been enormously successful. In private sector, public sector, communities, you know it.

But, I know this. I know this, Jim Shaw, from our Minnesota office. From all the calls we get. And from all the people we try to help. There are many veterans who’ve had a war injury that has changed their lives forever. There are many veterans that are hurting. There is a lot of pain. There’s a lot of people that fall between cracks. And, our country has not done our best at honoring our commitment, our moral obligation to veterans in the United States of America.
