It's not an emergency for them; it's an emergency for every Merchant Marine veteran that's left.

Neal Cummings

This is another position group with veteran experience and having seasoned players on the line has really opened up the options we have offensively.

Scott Squires

He surprised me. I know veteran players can pretty much kind of get through training camp and then be ready to go the first week. I didn't know that he'd be able to do that. He's definitely showed that he can.

Alan Faneca

Lieutenant McCarthy is a 26-year veteran of the force with an impeccable record. I think the public should be able to connect the dots here and see the big picture.

Justin Mccarthy

He's showing me a lot already that a lot of veteran coaches don't do as far as relationships and being hands-on.

Mike Woodard

We have to make sure to take care of the basketball. We hope that having a veteran team that has played in the playoffs can help us.

Steve Sweat

Their big men played well. They executed their stuff to a T. They shared the ball and just did everything they needed to do to win. That's something a veteran team like us should be doing, but a young group like that is doing it.

Richard Roby

He's going to give you that veteran talk, 'You need to go ahead and get your money,' ... That's because he's been there for 13 years. If you get the other view (from a free agent), they'll say you need to stay in school to get your degree.

Deangelo Williams

Veterans are veterans. The state-operated cemetery would be available to any veteran, regardless of the state they're from.

Kent Bailey

He's got a veteran offensive line in front of him. We just ask them to give a seam and hopefully Jude can break it.

Coach Scott Zane

We're glad to have him though, because he gives us good veteran depth ....

Dan Henning

My father was a disabled veteran; my husband is also.

Sue Allen

I don't know too much about the situation and I don't get into personal stuff, ... But just to see a veteran going through what he's going through, you always learn from that.

Mike Jacobs

This is a veteran group. They are pretty battle-tested and ready to go. Our kids have been pretty focused, and they've had the goal of winning the state championship since the beginning of the year. They've got to play well one more time.

Scott Pera

Not to take away anything from those other guys. But bringing in a veteran like Trent was huge. Young players watch his work ethic. From Day One, he has taken command and embraced the leadership role on and off the field. A lot of young guys can see than and take a lot from it.

Bryan Tucker

Everything that happens on the field is crucial. You cannot take anything for granted. It's emotional. You have a veteran saying something to a young kicker, he has to understand every point counts. Everyone is held accountable.

Marco Rivera

The most important thing when you are going through that kind of period is the guy standing in front of the team needs to remain a pillar. He can't be blowing in the wind, and he didn't. He kept our eye on the ball. He was like a veteran coach.

Sam Wyche

You look at a team like Creighton which has struggled with injuries and things like that, but they still have a roster of veteran ballplayers. For us to be as young as we are and finally be able to show some poise during their runs and execute down the stretch, it says a lot about how far our team has come in the last month.

Robin Pingeton

We have a mix of new and veteran kids on our defensive unit, and they held them to one score and 198 total yards, including only 68 passing. That was most satisfying. It's much easier to win games with defense than by trying to outscore somebody.

Chris Kirkpatrick

I think the future looks very promising. If you look at Dan's track record when he's had veteran leadership, his teams have done well. There's reason to be optimistic.

Paul Krebs

I'd say it'd probably be a long shot. I'm realistic. They're going to give him every chance in the world. You've got a veteran guy. The last thing they want is another young guy playing the infield.

Terry Tiffee

We have great test scores, veteran teachers who are good at what they do and a great group of kids. Our challenge is to look at what we can fine-tune (for continuous improvement).

Tom Mccoy

He's a very calm, veteran player and he knows the system well. He's very experienced. He knows where to go with the ball.

Anthony Becht

In addition to his solid, veteran presence on the floor, Toni's knowledge and experience will be an invaluable asset to the younger players on our roster.

Terry Stotts

We have a real (veteran) ball club. That type of experience gives you the edge, I guess.

Brooks Mckowen

It turns out that the majority of Dew drinkers have voted in favor of the new 'tuned up taste' of Diet Mountain Dew. Their seal of approval makes this a great time to introduce everyone- both new and veteran Dew drinkers- to the new taste of Diet Mountain Dew.

Frank Cooper

It was on two and I snapped it at one. It was a veteran screwing up when a rookie told me to snap it on two. That one's on me.

Olin Kreutz

It was a veteran team making a veteran play. We were hoping for some things to happen. They were confident and made things happen.

Charles Ramsey

[Before the game, the veteran Morton pulled Ponder aside, promising his young teammate that great things were in store.] He said, 'We're going to do something never done in Giants' history. You're going to score and I'm going to score,'Ÿ ... And we did it.

Willie Ponder

It has to be a veteran.

Glenna Borho

We got a veteran team. I expect to do well. We're pretty deep in pitching, and we're going to swing the bat, as well.

Charlie O'brien

We wanted to run as much as we could and force their younger players to make as many decisions as possible, and hopefully they were poor. Now Elgin is a veteran team, so I'm not so sure we want to get in that kind of game with them.

Randy Kortokrax

He's a veteran kid who just quietly does his job back there.

Gregg Brandon

[The band are now hoping to coax PJ Harvey , veteran from the original Desert Sessions - and Bjork - to Newcastle .] She's the only artists the entire band can agree on, ... she's genius.

Paul Mullen

It's great to see Kenny's level of desire and determination. I expect to learn a lot from him. Some of the veteran drivers are not the best mentors because in this sport everybody is looking out for himself. But I can trust Kenny and I know he'll be a great mentor. They say you're only as good as the company you keep, and in racing there's no better company than Ken Schrader.

Jon Wood

I've got business interests that I've got to call. My wife is a veteran, and she suffers from blood pressure and heart problems and I want her well-rested.

Allen Miller

I don't want to go out there and be crazy, just be a veteran that's played this game 12 years, ... I told myself, 'Whenever you're activated, don't try to be the savior, because it's going to take everybody.' It's not going to be just be me.

Penny Hardaway

It wasn't that difficult for me because I had such a veteran team.

Bob Brenly

We didn't finish the game like a veteran team. But for the most part, we played like we did at the (Heart of America Athletic Conference) Tournament.

Steve Jenkins

As a veteran, there is no question that I stand strongly with the troops.

Tom Daschle

They were great veteran players. But it was like they all got hurt.

Kenyatta Walker

We exchanged views with relevant veteran organizations in the United States like the Flying Tigers and solicited veterans for their opinions.

Jiang Beichen

[A few doors away Scott Wood hung a 5-foot-by-10-foot flag on his front porch.] It actually was given to my mom when my dad passed away, ... He was a Navy veteran in World War II. I've been waiting for the right time to pull it out, and today seems to be the right day.

Scott Wood

I saw a franchise that needed its confidence restored. It had a decent nucleus of veteran players that needed some support.

Ned Colletti

He was a grizzly, old veteran, just a real hard-nosed racer, ... He would run all day long, and then all of a sudden with 20 (laps) to go, you would look up and he would be leading the race.

Frank Kimmel

Having experienced things going on two years now, I'm not a veteran by any means, but I feel like maybe I have some advice to offer.

Matt Holliday

Saunders is a veteran for us and he's an All-American. He's been in there and he knows what he has to do and he goes out and gets the job done.

Joe Renfro

Glenn, Kyle and Eddie (Miller) are our three veteran guards and they're all playmakers. If you put the ball in their hands, they make coaching a lot easier. They make plays for themselves and others. And Glenn, he has the ability to be as good as any guard in our league, and I truly believe that.

Bill Lewit

Particularly pitching in the eighth inning in meaningful games when it's all on the line. I'm extremely happy to have him and have his veteran leadership. He's done a fine job for us.

Lloyd Mcclendon

[That held true last week when the 15-year Microsoft veteran revealed he would retire at the end of next year.] If you want to make a difference, and you see something that can be improved, then don't talk--improve it, ... My dream is for a much more agile, quality-driven engineering organization with fewer roadblocks and more open highway to speed on. ... Now, let's ship, ship, ship!

Jim Allchin

Florida is just a solid veteran team that was ranked No. 1 earlier this year. We dug ourselves a hole early and they did a good job of getting the much needed three-set win at No. 3. I thought our team fought hard today.

Dennis Emery

There are no lazy veteran lion hunters.

Norman R. Augustine

My secondary should be solid. Aaron Gipson has just been a veteran of the cornerback position.

Mike Bellotti

Corey Simon can help us out a lot. He's a veteran to provide leadership and a big man who can plug things up in the middle, ... He'll help with the run defense and put pressure on the quarterback.

David Thornton

A veteran can provide leadership not only on the field but in the clubhouse. They're really invaluable.

Richie Zisk

Anybody who actually cares about people, come out and help us help this man who was a veteran of the Vietnam war and fought for us. Let's fight for him.

Tonja Neal

We have a veteran bullpen, which is good because we have a young starting staff. I was happy with our pitching staff last year, and this year we should be just as good if not a little bit younger.

Dan Carlson

Not at all. He's a Big Ten veteran.

Brad Soderberg

Tara is a veteran on this team, and Jessica has been doing a nice job of running our offense. They're both pretty good options at setter.

Blake Budrow

Last year I really had to step it up for the team and for myself. I think last year it really opened things up for me and showed me how it is, and now I'm like a veteran.

Jono Cornelius

There are many veteran organizations, but we wanted to concentrate on those who (help the) badly wounded.

Jerry Donnellan

The strength of our defense will come from a veteran group of returnees, ... We have a lot of experience in Kara, Kristen, Carolyn, Christina and Rachel and I will look for them to lead this team. The freshman class will add to the defense with their speed and athleticism, thus giving us a very strong back line.

Anne Moore

The roster is a reflection of the veteran leadership, and heading into this Women's World Cup, we will need the veterans to provide leadership and the foundation for our consistent performances.

April Heinrichs

Coco is a special person in the sense that she really loves UT and she totally cares about the team. She's very knowledgeable about the Big 12 system and our opponents; she's a real veteran out there for us. Our program is really going to miss Coco. She really has paid attention and has bought into everything we do here to help our student-athletes be successful.

Kathy Harston

Coach Gibbs said...he didn't know if (Tupa) was going to go on injured reserve, or rehab, or whatever. So, he wants a veteran in here that's a good holder. And that he doesn't have to worry about as far as holding and stuff like that, field goals, end punts. So he called me, and I'm here.

Chris Mohr

After the 2000 Olympics, veteran players came back wanting to pursue the goal of qualifying for a world championship. Everyone is thrilled about having achieved this objective and the feeling tonight around the locker-room was one of 'this is what we came here to do.

Allison Mcneill

[Volunteers formed a circle around Adkins as the veteran barked out orders in true military style.] We're going to hope for the best, ... but expect the worst.

Terry Adkins

We're coming at him like we're coming at any veteran quarterback. You never know, he may be on his way to a Pro Bowl. You have to play him that way.

Ryan Clark

I knew to expect that, I knew they were going to come after me, ... I'm a rookie out there; I'm a target. They look on the other side and see number 24 [veteran corner Shawn Springs] and look on my side and number 22: I know they're coming after me.

Carlos Rogers

Actually, he's surprised me. I know veteran players can pretty much just get through training camp and turn it on the first week. I didn't know if he could do that. But he's shown that he can.

Jeff Hartings

I always felt we needed to play more in games and even in practice. As a veteran, I also realize you want to go into the season healthy. That's why I'm glad it's the coach's job.

Jeff Hartings

I think they've brought in some quality veteran guys with Gary and Joe and Marty and Sean.

Chris Gratton

They're a real good team. They're a veteran team like us. They're well-coached.

Tyronn Mitchell

As a veteran volunteer fire fighter, as well as a filmmaker, I wanted to share my experience of what it was really like at Ground Zero from the perspective of the rescue and recovery workers.

Lou Angeli

The players are determined to ensure that all NHLPA members are fully and completely informed about matters relating to their membership and their futures. This is about democracy and transparency, ... As veteran players, we want to return the association to its members. It is our responsibility to the younger players.

Chris Chelios

We have a veteran team that played a challenging schedule, and I think this will prepare us as the stakes get higher in Danville.

Bill Lewit

It was kind of nice as a veteran and older guy to lead the generation out there.

Todd Smolinski

We have a veteran lineup but we have a very good nucleus of young kids, freshmen who also can play. They're getting their opportunities and making the best of them.

Joe Hudak

Our team goal is much bigger than one game. We're a big-picture team. We want to bring home the section crown. This was great for our young group of kids, the experience factor against a quality, veteran team.

Jay Gomez

I think to win you need a combination of things. You need that veteran leadership and veteran ability to perform in the clutch and understand the pressures of having been there before. But you also need that boyish enthusiasm of rookies who don't even understand the pressures and the fear because they're just so excited to be there.

Terry Mcguirk

I don't think it was a good call. Seth's played that block all year. He's a nine-year veteran. He's not going to make a (mistake) like that at that time of the game.

Travis Johnson

The nice thing about it is that, with the exception of Esteban, everyone else was here last year. So everyone knows the drill, what we're doing, what we're trying to do. And Esteban's a veteran, so he'll be fine.

Curt Young

I am excited and honored to have this opportunity, both as a CNN veteran who has done virtually every job in the organization and as a journalist dedicated to maintaining our stature as the world's most powerful news organization.

Jim Walton

We've got a veteran team and we're playing some good, solid baseball right now. There's always room for improvement so we'll just keep after it.

Tracy Bodi

Nobody hates war more than a veteran. They know what a war is.

Ray Baumbach

I think our defense is clearly ahead of where our offense is right now. We recognize that we have a veteran setter who we think will help us catch up in a hurry.

Dave Shondell

They have veteran experience and they've been able to pitch consistently. Yeah, they've had their ups and downs, but I think our rotation has been more stable than any other team in our division, which is a benefit -- especially down the stretch.

Jeff Kent

I love the way we came out in the first period. But then we had a four-minute power play and only got two shots on goal and in a game like this you just can't do that. We sat back and got complacent and against a veteran team like (the Braves) they'll beat you every time. We have to stay up for the entire game and play with urgency.

Jim Ingram

That was the most disappointing thing about this game. We have a veteran team and we should know what to do in those situations.

Jim Pace

Meagher is a Vietnam veteran who has dedicated his service to the veteran, and in this position, he will work to ensure the technology we are building on today improves our service delivery to the nation's veterans and their families tomorrow.

Robert Mcfarland

That's kind of cool to be a veteran at 19. I don't really mind. My goal is to be the best in the world one day, and that's what I work for.

Aree Song

The veteran player ... he knows his role, he knows where he is. It's the young kids that are kind of afraid to make those adjustments because, 'Hey, I'm here. I've only been here one or two years. I don't want to lose my job.' ... That's the concern.

Mickey Brantley

I think the fit kind of makes sense. Coach Jackson has had a lot of success with big, veteran guards in his career and Aaron fits that mold.

Leon Rose

Being a veteran team with five senior starters, when they get you down they put you away. They're worthy of their ranking. That's why they're first in our division and why they'll go deep into the NCAA Tournament.

Scotty Davenport

Not surprised. He's a Big Ten veteran. Those are the kinds of guys you build programs around.

Brad Soderberg

He was a manager on the field. When he played, the manager's job was cut in half. He never had to discipline any player because Frank took care of that, whether you were a rookie or a veteran. If he thought you weren't giving your all, he'd let you know.

Elrod Hendricks

It's designed to meet the needs of both newer and veteran guidance counselors and promote all 64 campuses in the SUNY system. Some guidance counselors may be able to meet representatives of SUNY schools they couldn't otherwise visit.

Katie Maxwell

We've got a great group of kids who work very hard. We're not a veteran team and we're going to have a lot of first timers in the line-up. But I expect us to be one of the top contenders again.

Eric Grant

He's showing that he's a veteran, talking tough but not too tough. Promising plans, but staying vague about them. It's a perfect campaign so far.

Ephraim Inbar

Even if he decides to run, pan-blue voters may think of him as veteran who is refusing to give the next generation a chance, and there is a chance that he could lose.

Emile Sheng

We're excited to bring in a veteran player like Sam who brings nine years of playoff experience and two championships, ... The addition of Sam strengthens our backcourt. He's a big-time scorer who is one of the best in the league when it comes to taking and making the big shot in the closing moments of a ballgame.

Elgin Baylor

We're excited to bring in a veteran player like Sam, who brings nine years of playoff experience and two championships. The addition of Sam strengthens our backcourt. He's a big-time scorer who is one of the best in the league when it comes to taking and making the big shot in the closing moments of a ballgame.

Elgin Baylor

Being a veteran and having military expertise is helpful. It can set him apart. It's also beneficial in a situation of war. There are a lot of veterans around, and they pay a lot of respect to fellow veterans.

Fred Mitchell

It does feel a little different with this veteran lineup. Everybody's been through it all before.

Ed Easley

Peter is a veteran. He knows what's at stake.

Ed Snider

We've got to get some guys in here that love football, veteran guys that love football. All these young heads – we need some guys that just love football.

Zack Crockett
