"Throughout our National history, each generation has asked men and women to leave the comfort of their communities and the embrace of their families to fight for those communities and to protect those families. Our responsibility on the Homefront is to ensure that our commitment to each of them is met. Whether young or old, our veterans must be a priority in every city and town in the Commonwealth. It is our collective obligation as well as a priority for me personally to fight for housing, healthcare, employment, and services for veterans and their families. I am proud to come from a family of veterans and will never forget the responsibility that I have as a public servant to fight for those that fought for us."
