On this Veterans Day we must renew our promise to our nation’s veterans, not just through our words but through real action. Too many of our returning service members confront homelessness, mental health issues, and even deportations. We must work together to build a society where our veterans do not have to face these injustices. In my view, it is a disgrace that 38,000 veterans are homeless. If you can't afford to take care of your veterans, then you do not go to war. We must use this day to r

If we are going to send people off to war, we must understand what the war experience means to their lives and do everything we can to make them whole when they return. If we can’t do that, we shouldn’t be sending them into war in the first place. That’s the contract we have with the people who put their lives on the line to defend us. | Bernie Sanders

At a time when the Department of Veterans Affairs is already understaffed, Donald Trump is firing 83,000 VA workers so he can pass another giant tax break for billionaires. Unacceptable. We must strengthen the VA so no veteran is left behind, not CUT it. | Bernie Sanders

Each Veterans Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave Vermonters, and our brothers and sisters across the country, who put on the uniform to keep our communities, our families, and our nation safe and protected. Vermont has a long and proud history of military service throughout U.S. history, dating all the way back to the Green Mountain Boys during the American Revolution. On Friday, we came together in St. Albans to commemorate that legacy and the extraordinary sacrifice of our veterans

Trump & Musk want to fire 83,000 employees from the Veterans Administration. That means the quality of veterans' health care will deteriorate, and they will wait even longer for benefits. You do NOT balance the budget on the backs of men & women who defended this country. | Bernie Sanders

Veterans in Vermont and all over this country deserve to have good doctors, nurses and the primary care that they need.

Each year, 200,000 military service members separate from the military and return to civilian life. Farming can be a great career opportunity for these brave men and women where they can continue serving their communities and our country. One of my top priorities is ensuring that our veterans have what they need—from livable wages and good jobs to health care—to live with dignity and security.
