I’m hearing talk about a non-partisan issue which will soon turn into Republican spin.

The truth is both elected Democrats and Republicans officials are proud of our veterans and have been working to ensure better benefits and care. However, we can always do more for folks that have served us and have often putting their life on the line for us.

Minnesota Democrats: It’s time to look at this issue. Is there more we can do for our vets? Do rural vets need help getting to facilities for care? Is there appropriate compensation? What difficulties are families of veterans facing, and can we help alleviate those problems?

Today I saw an old, faded “Thanks, Veterans!” bumper sticker. It’s time to resurrect those bumper stickers and start talking about and with veterans and families of veterans.
