General Colin L. Powell

General Colin L. Powell

On this Veterans’ Day, I’d like to share a quote from a speech that I gave at Arlington National Cemetery on Nov. 11, 1989.

“The nation owes a great debt to its veterans, whose service to the nation spans every decade, every year, every day of our country's existence. Through untold courage and sacrifice, America’s veterans have secured the liberty which the founding fathers sought to establish,” “in times of darkness and danger as well as in times of peace and prosperity. America's veterans have been there.”

We have 20 million living veterans. I am proud to be one.
