Best way to say thanks is by a hiring campaign
On Veterans Day, Americans honor our brave men and women in uniform who put their lives on the line for our country.
We also remember those who did not make it back home.
Many veterans are returning home to face various hardships.
They may be struggling with serious medical problems, trying to find employment or suffering from the mental stresses of com-bat as they come back from Iraq, Afghanistan or elsewhere.
Let’s ensure that when our heroes return they have what they need to come back to civilian life as smoothly as possible.
Our veterans have dedicated their lives to protecting men and women they have never met.
We have a fundamental obligation to honor the sacrifices they and their families have made and to make sure they are never forgotten as true heroes.
This Veterans Day, we honor their service, and pause to say, “Thank you.”
The best way we can say “thanks” is to remember the obligation we have to serve them in the same way that they have served this nation.
Let’s start a campaign — wherein vets are hiring vets.

It’s time for president to shoulder the blame
I am sick and tired of hearing President Barack Obama and his mouthpieces blaming former President George W. Bush for the economic problems of America.
Do they forget that during Bush’s term, we were attacked by terrorists who killed thousands, which forced Bush to go to war to prevent further attacks?
That cost America a lot of money — but it is not the sole reason our economy is in such a mess.
Obama’s policies and plans have quadrupled our problems.
He focused on health insurance reform instead of jobs and economic growth.
Obama needs to look in the mirror, start acting like a president for all Americans, and go back to the values that made America so great, powerful, vibrant and respected.
Our national debt is increasing daily. It is time for Obama to stop wasting our money — and to prepare himself for retirement next year.
