Read this speech given by US Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel on Veterans Day 2014. What is the purpose of the speech? Every year, we set aside Veterans Day to honor all the men and women whove served our country in uniform. We celebrate veterans from generations past. We welcome a new generation of veterans home from war. And we thank our future veterans, still serving at home and abroad. They are securing our nation through their engagement across the globe. Some are in West Africa, contributing to the global effort to stop the spread of Ebola. Some are in the Middle East, working closely with our coalition partners in the fight against ISIL. And some are in Afghanistan, where next month the United States will responsibly end the longest war in our history. For our troops serving around the world today, and those transitioning out of the military, our obligations are only beginning. Taking care of them, and their families, is a sacred responsibility we must always uphold. Lets celebrate them by telling their stories. Lets help those who need it, while supporting their strength and resilience. And lets honor our veterans by creating new opportunities for them to contribute after their service, so they can continue making a difference in the world. To all our veteransthank you. Thank you for everything youve done for our country. Youre among the best our nation has to offer. God bless you and your families, and happy Veterans Day.
