Like all Americans, I will never forget where I was the morning of the 9/11 attacks.

For many of the brave men and women who have fought on the front lines, returning home means trying to navigate a complicated and bureaucratic Veterans Administration benefits system.

We must do everything we can to help our service members and veterans transition into civilian life once they return home, and that means preparing them for the tough job market.

We define ourselves as intelligent. That's odd, because we're doing the definition - We're creating our own definition and saying, 'We are intelligent!'

Justice consists in doing no injury to men; decency in giving them no offense.

Falsehood is cowardice, the truth courage.
