Hi, everybody. This week, America came together tosalute our veterans – to express our appreciationto all who served so that we might live free. But ourgratitude should extend beyond what our veteranshave done for us in the past. It should remind us ofour responsibilities to serve them as well as theyhave served us. It should compel us to keep ourveterans central to the ongoing work of this nation.

In recent years, we've made historic investments toboost the VA budget, expand veterans' benefits,and improve care for our wounded warriors. We've now slashed the disability claims backlog bynearly 90 percent from its peak. We're reducing the outrage of veterans' homelessness andwe've helped tens of thousands of veterans get off the streets. The veterans' unemploymentrate is down to 3.9 percent – even lower than the national average.

Of course, we're not satisfied. We've still got more work to do – and I've directed myAdministration to keep doing everything it can to fulfill our promise to our veterans. But thisisn't just a job for government alone. We all have a role to play. Less than one percent ofAmericans are serving in uniform. So it's true most Americans don't always see andappreciate the incredible skills and assets that our veterans can offer. But every Americanshould know that our veterans are some of the most talented, capable people in the world.They've mastered skills and technologies and leadership roles that are impossible to teach offthe battlefield. They know how to get stuff done.

And as our veterans will tell you themselves, they're not finished serving their country. They'reteachers and doctors, engineers and entrepreneurs, social workers and community leaders.They serve in statehouses across the country and in Congress. As I tell small business ownersand CEOs on a regular basis, if you want to get the job done, hire a vet. Every sector, everyindustry, every community in this country can benefit from the incredible talents of ourveterans.

Our troops and veterans give us their very best. That's what a soldier named Captain FlorentGroberg proved. Three years ago, on patrol in Afghanistan, Flo saw a suicide bomber comingtoward his unit. Without hesitating, Flo grabbed him by his vest and helped push him to theground. When the bomb went off, Flo was badly injured, and four of his comrades were killed.But many more were saved because of Flo's sacrifice. Flo represents the very best of America –and this week, I was proud to present him with the Medal of Honor for his actions.

Veterans like Flo, they deserve our undying gratitude. They deserve the chance to keepserving the country they risked everything to defend. And so we must come together to keepgiving them that chance, not just on Veterans Day, but on every single day of the year. MayGod bless all those who serve and all who have given their lives for our country. And may Godbless the United States of America.
