We don't want to park this plane in a museum. We're losing 1,500 veterans a day in this country.

With each veteran that's passing we lose another story of courage and valor.

Ray Fowler

I remember coming out here every Memorial Day, because his parents are buried across the road, and we would put flowers on their graves, and I remember going to Forest Lawn in Buffalo to put flowers on the graves of the Civil War veterans there.

Joan Barnes

Last year, we had a lot of (arena) veterans and I pretty much knew who I was going to cut going into camp. This year, I don't know. I can't tell you who will be released. I was going down the list today and I don't know who's going to make it and who's not.

Kevin Bouis

We definitely feel like we have more experience than any other team. We have veterans that have been down there. We've experienced the atmosphere and I really believe that's going to help us.

Mike Blackburn

This is a good way for the students to learn about veterans and how they fought to preserve our country. We try to get the veterans and the students to meet face-to-face at the program.

John Mccauley

I was ready to get on the field but I was behind some veterans at the time. It was a good experience. Greg [Hopkins] and Eddie [Brown]-I learned a lot from both those guys.

They obviously don't know what the rest of their life is going to be. But looking at veterans like myself, they can see they can live a normal life.

Jerry Donnellan

We've got some veterans who are great players, and our younger people have really stepped up. This team has done so well, but the biggest challenges we have still lie ahead of us. We want to finish 10-0 in the division, win the conference championship match and make it downstate again.

Nancy Lill

Many Veterans Committee members have spoken publicly or privately against letting Rose in. Some have even threatened to boycott the Hall of Fame ceremonies if he is elected. So his best chances of getting into the Hall are during the next two years.

Tom Verducci

I think this is a pretty talented team. We've got a nice combination of youth and veterans. We've just got to figure out why this hasn't happened yet.

Jim Leyland

We believe Mr. Cappetto's work is a unique and limited opportunity to compile the stories of these great American veterans, and to communicate to subsequent generations the first- hand accounts of their service to our country.

George Clarke

I remember having Yo's trading card when I was younger. She is just a very hard worker, she's not afraid of anything, she tells you how it is. Teams need that. She's just a great leader. The veterans have pulled us in and made us feel comfortable, like we're all family. That's one of the biggest successes of this team.

Kristin Haynie

Obviously there's frustration, but there are a lot of veterans in this locker room. It's about building for the entire season. What we need to build our team on is defense.

Pete Vagenas

We battled the best out there today with Setzer, Musgrave, (Ron) Hornaday, (Todd) Bodine, (Jimmy) Spencer for a while, ... Those were the veterans of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series battling out there at the end and I'm proud to be in that elite group.

Rick Crawford

After watching Kerry's shift from voting for the Iraq war to being an 'anti-war' candidate to being 'proud' of voting for our troops before he voted against them, veterans ... are unlikely to trust John Kerry to lead the men and women currently in uniform.

Steve Schmidt

The $864 billion Republican tax cut is a destructive plan that will eat the surplus alive and suck the VA dry. They are trading veterans for votes and it is shameful.

Lane Evans

Fishermen's Village is key to our survival. We need to stay there. We've been good to them in the four years we've been there. Right now, there's a war going on and we're losing servicemen and women. It's not the proper time to be throwing the military museum out in the street and dishonoring veterans in anyway.

David Klein

We've got a good group of guys here. We have a good mix of veterans and young players. We want to prove to the league that we're for real this year.

Orlando Perez

I don't think the veterans' benefits are really keeping up with the times.

John Gonsalves

Our 23 million patriots ? our veterans of World War II and Korea ? are rarely recognized other than on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Yet these men and women are as patriotic as those who founded this nation.

Tom Graves

They took it to us pretty good. I think this was an upset. At halftime I was worried that if the game got tight in the fourth quarter, their veterans would get it done against our young guys.

Curt Clifford

What's neat is it's at the highest level of women's golf and you can learn so much hanging out at the putting green or the chipping area talking with the veterans, from drills to mindset to attitude.

Libby Smith

When I go to Houston I always meet other veterans from Conroe and while we're waiting for hours and hours we talk about what we've heard about the Conroe clinic and when it's going to happen. There are a lot of veterans and we have a hard time with driving. If there was a clinic here in town you can get a neighbor to take you.

Charles Henry

And the Sonoma County veterans who have died in war to date have all been men. We didn't pick it, that's the way it is.

Ross Liscum

It is an acknowledgement of the veterans' service. The fact that the towns are going to the full capacity, it's money, but it's also a gesture on their behalf to thank the veterans for the time they put on a uniform.

Jerry Donnellan

We've had conversations with the mayor for a room for veterans to meet and it's been very positive.

John Boland

I don't consider them to be freshmen anymore. They've played in a lot of big games for us so far. We're in our tenth game of the season, and those guys are almost veterans already.

Chris Quinn

The veterans are getting the best care that our staff can give them.

Priscilla Slater

The Conference is a forum for providing important veterans benefit information. The 2004 Conference resulted in women veterans receiving thousands of dollars in disability compensation and other benefits.

Our team is a blend of skilled underclassmen and seasoned veterans. We need to continue to improve and grow as a team to reach our goals for the 2006 season.

James Patrick

Our hope for this project is to get these stories archived in the Special Collections Department of the Harold B. Lee Library, so that they won't be lost. Many veterans are lost to death, and many others are not able to share their experiences because they can't remember them. Our hope is to have the history remain as the veterans slip away.

Patricia Rushton

One guy doesn't get it done, then the next guy doesn't get it done, and now pretty soon they are all kind of in the same boat where they can't get them in. Hopefully we can take care of that with some veterans, [who are] used to getting runners in and they won't panic.

Joe Vavra

It's tough to sit out during the regular season but it's a lot tougher when the playoffs are going on. It's not frustration for thinking you should be out there, but frustration that you want to be part of it. We have veterans that are doing the job and you have to be positive and keep the guys going.

Jimmy Roy

What the Veterans of Peace group wants to do is come in and basically, through an open forum, promote their cause. This is not an open forum setting for those types of discussions.

Sterling Ivey

We've got some kids playing, some freshmen playing a lot of hockey for us right now. Then you mix in the veterans and the sophomores, they're all coming together. They're seeing what high school hockey is all about, it's a long season.

Mike Boyajian

Last year we got three or four planes together and flew to Chandler for breakfast, ... We usually plan on having fly-outs over Thanksgiving weekend or over Veteran's Day.

Viral Shah

It was nice to see the president out there supporting us, ... It was a good speech, he talked a lot about the veterans and the war on terrorism.

Andrew Hill

After Frances, everybody around here was seasoned veterans. If a third hurricane had hit us, we would have restored power within three days. And after a fourth one, we would have snapped fingers and the lights would come on.

Bud Boudreaux

Symbolizes how two-faced he is, talking about his war reputation, which is questionable on the one hand, and then coming out against our veterans who were fighting over there on the other.

Sam Johnson

You brain has to work and it helps a recent study showed this type of exercise helps combat something like Alzheimer's. The veteran's 40-plus group is the fastest growing category in the country.

Dr. Michelle Prettyman

The story of the veterans should be told. That's our history. It was a global event that is worthy of our respect.

George Clarke

The revised schedule for hearings and the change in format amount to a slap in the face to individual veterans as well as the groups that represent them in the public policy arena. Chairman Buyer has slammed the door in the face of America's veterans.

Paul Jackson

This was a solid start for us. Our veterans played well and the freshmen did a great job in their first competition. They had high intensity and they did a great job of putting opponents away when they had the chance.

Bill Potoczny

The issue this year has been putting a 40-minute game together and we did that through the buzzer tonight. That's a quality team. They have veterans and Olympians. Had we let up for one or two minutes, this game could have been another story.

Becky Hammon

It?s a two-way street, frankly. It allows some of our business community to learn what?s going on out here, the issues they?re struggling with. On the flip side, it allows the start-up companies to learn first-hand from the experience and seasoned business veterans on how to deal with certain issues.

Phil Stafford

It hurt us deeply because the family was actually a part of our family at the veterans of foreign wars.

John Ayers

The Caucus I joined in 1953 had as many Boer War veterans as men who had seen active service in World War II, three from each. The Ministry appointed on 5th December 1972 was composed entirely of ex-servicemen: Lance Barnard and me.

Gough Whitlam

It means a lot to all the veterans, and I think they'll all have closure now that they never could have before, and they'll be able to talk about experiences there that they never were able to, before.

Jim Newman

This could be football Armageddon for teams having to release quality veterans.

Angelo Wright

I'm one of the three Vietnam veterans that George Bush went after. He came to my state five different times and they ran millions of dollars worth of ads with me and Saddam Hussein up there.

Max Cleland

Things didn't go perfectly for us tonight. But I think what we learned from tonight will be invaluable for us down the road and will serve to make us a better team. We had great team work, we had enthusiasm and we saw great leadership from a few of our veterans. We also saw the determination and enthusiasm from our freshmen that are going to help us contend in the future.

Sarah Patterson

Our 2005 player field will feature the perfect blend of both solid veterans and rising stars. This year, fans will be able to see some of the most exciting players in women's tennis today.

It was encouraging to see the number of veterans who came out today. It was a packed house, and the VA was very encouraged.

Jason Galanes

My biggest wish is to meet with ordinary and common people, to visit their families, that face current difficulties, to talk with fathers and mothers in the families, with veterans who experienced grief and happiness, to meet with youth who are making their first steps in life.

Islom Karimov

We did an excellent job and everybody played well. Hat's off to the veterans and the rookies -- I'm proud of all of them.

Robert Brunn

A majority of our staff are veterans, which is why the program succeeds as it does.

Betsy Tolstedt

Democrats in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Washington, Ohio, Missouri and Florida plan to hold press conferences over the next several days to highlight the importance of a substantive discussion on issues affecting all Americans -- national security, homeland security and veterans' issues; education; environment and energy policies; the economy; health care; and equal opportunity for all.

Jeanne Shaheen

It was inexperience on our part. We played with a lot of young players and few experienced MLS veterans, ... This is a league that's been around for 10 years filled with experienced players and one that is very strong and physical. We were mistaken, and most of all me.

Antonio Cue

The shift in how our tax dollars have been spent over the last five years captures the consequences of our current priorities. When military spending takes a 20 percent greater share of our tax dollar while job training, housing and veterans' benefits take less, we are faced with stark examples of the neglect taking place here at home.

Greg Speeter

Joe and Nick are the veterans of the team. They have done a great job on and off the ice.

Dan Wolff

Given the short period of time they have had to operate, GMs have preferred reliable veterans as opposed to unproven rookies.

Anton Thun

It was just one of those extraordinary seasons where anything that could go wrong did. Last year it was just the total opposite. Everything went so smoothly with us - we didn't have any injuries and had lots of veteran leadership, and this year we lost a lot of our veterans and it hurt us a lot. But the guys hung in there and during the last three weeks we played pretty well.

Roger Hatch

It's a different team now with all the veterans. Going into training camp, I knew exhibition games were going to be the main thing. That's really how you can tell if you belong in the NHL.

Gregory Campbell

I am proud of our guys, because we were in it until the end. N.C. State is a good team, with lots of veterans, and we stayed tough and I am very encouraged about that.

Gary Williams

There were definitely packages that we didn't even use last year. We have a lot more talent, a lot more veterans out here that know what their jobs are and what area they are supposed to be in. It will be totally different. We're going to blitz a lot more, play a lot more man-to-man coverage; we're going to do a lot of things.

Antoine Winfield

I've played this game for a long time, and I have the ability to play through adversity. This feels great. Some of the rookies might have been nervous, but us veterans don't have pre-game jitters.

Rayshawn Askew

We all knew from the get-go Cadillac was going to be the star. But the thing about the young guys, they're all ears and no mouth. They listen, they take great advice from the veterans who have had experience over the years and they go out there and they have a lot of heart and play well.

Mike Alstott

What's so effective is the messengers. The returning veterans are talking about what they saw in Iraq. The family members are talking about their loved ones.

Stuart Roy

Veterans' issues are really his only issue - that's all he has.

Jerry Mcnerney

We have a lot of experience and veterans on this team. As a team we are playing incredible basketball.

Sheryl Swoopes

We see very few young veterans off active duty. Any county that has a large military installation would look at this as a much bigger deal.

Randy Mayer

Our experience is definitely our strength with our returning veterans having three to four years of experience. They all do a good job of playing an all-around game. Something we have to focus on, though, is our short game. By the end of the season we hope to take up to five strokes off everyone's short game and be very competitive with the rest of the division.

Teresa Benson

As Canadians, we don't usually pat ourselves on the back, blow our horn. And veterans are the same, they're very humble, very low-key. But when you hear the stories, sometimes the hair on the back of your neck stands up, because it's so amazing some of the things that they've done, the courage that they've shown.

Steve Ogden

We really don't have any time to waste. We're losing veterans at such a fast rate.

Jeanette Siemens

Playing a top team like the Heat, with all their veterans, really lets us know where we stand. You could see we need a couple more days to regroup.

Dwight Howard

It gets some early season jitters out so by midseason, they're veterans, especially if someone were to get hurt which we hope doesn't happen.

Adam Witter

I think it's a willingness to work. I think our work ethic is not very good in the third. And you can see that in the games. But it might also be a learning experience with the younger guys. As veterans, we need to pass on that knowledge.

Brendan Witt

Absolutely everyone can improve, and the veterans especially, in setting that kind of precedent that we don't make those little mistakes, that we don't fumble the ball, that we don't get unnecessary penalties. We kind of try to set a higher standard for everybody where the team benefits more. We can all do that.

Brad Hopkins

Not only do we service veterans, we also play cupid.

Tom Wolfe

And we've got real nice runners, too,. Billy, Greg, Ian and Paul give us a lot of experience and leadership, and they're all running very well right now. Russell's been right up there with the four varsity veterans. I feel real good about our chances. The boys are all real positive, too. We're ready to have a lot of fun this year.

Mark Bradley

Heather and Courtney have been our seasoned veterans this year. They've played first and second in every race we've ran. But what's made the difference for us is what two freshmen -- Olivia Booker and Meagan Hewitt - have given us.

Amanda Rowland

If it happens, it happens, ... we're not looking specifically for Iraq war veterans.

Carl Forti

I am considering placing an officer there (at the Veterans Way-Porter Street intersection) during peak hours when Old Farm Gate closes and Veterans Gate becomes the truck point, to help ease traffic concerns.

Dan Shereika

We have quite a bit of depth and a blend of veterans and young people. That's what it takes to have a successful track team.

Rick Bethel

We have a good mix of returning veterans and a very talented freshman class.

Travers Evans

I am extremely proud to see all of the veterans, who have made sacrifices for this country.

Jane Johnson

[Veterans] do have more leeway to criticize Bush. It gives Republicans something to think about.

Tom King

We'll be a real contender for sure. Beyond that, a lot will depend on how the new guys come along and whether some of the veterans like Nick Cuff and Travis Douglas return from injury.

Warren Deshields

We have no desire to have a political outcome. We do have a big desire to give greater voice to returning veterans in the debate over the war on terror.

Stuart Roy

We have got a war going on, and the veterans are returning home in greater numbers than when we didn't have a war. Our veterans have been overseas doing for our protection. ... We would like to see the state of Illinois increase funding for the program.

Michael Monaghan

That's what it's going to take — veterans groups, veterans and mothers who have lost kids speaking out.

George Muller

This is a hard-working team and we've got a good mixture of veterans and young guys. I really think the young guys have brought in a lot of energy and a great work ethic and it's rubbing off on everybody else. Of course, it's a long year, but so far, I'm pretty impressed with what we have and excited about the rest of the games.

Steve Rucchin

What I would really like from the community is for 50 to 100 people to show up with yellow ribbons to really welcome back the veterans. My dream is to have a large yellow ribbon stretched across the trees at the campus. We want them to know we appreciate their loyalty, patriotism and willingness to pay the ultimate price.

Gerald Sadler

He's what we need for those outside linebackers. He's got a youthful group. Sometimes, if you don't have veterans you can make up for it by playing with a little more attitude and enthusiasm.

Mark Farley

As long as the war keeps going and there are wounded veterans out there we're going to keep it going.

Marty O'brien

If a kid doesn't live up to it, you could have a problem with him losing confidence, and then it's up to the veterans and the pitching coach to step in and not let that happen.

Kevin Appier

I had to start over in Milwaukee and were able to build a (good) team. When I went to Cleveland (in 1985 as vice-president and GM) we did the same thing with a blend of young players and veterans. This franchise is in the same position. It's essential we blend youth in with veterans. We're going to continue that plan and I can see positive results.

Wayne Embry

I turn 34 in January next year, ... Once you're 35 you can't go to the Australasian titles any more. You have to wait until you're 40 so you can go in veterans. So this is my last chance.

Lisa Carr

The CIA's and the Defense Department's long denial of the possibility of chemical weapons exposure was a great disservice to thousands of Gulf War veterans whose tour of duty in the Persian Gulf has adversely affected their health.

Terry Everett

She genuinely cares about veterans and about their well-being. It's definitely very challenging work. The material people talk about is very difficult.

Betsy Tolstedt

The great thing about being in the major league camp is that you get to face more major league pitchers, which helps you learn how they go about trying to get outs. I also like being here because it gives me a chance to see how the veterans get ready for the season. It's not about being ready to play on March 15, it's about getting yourself ready for opening day.

Ryan Garko

As we gain new Soldiers, what these experienced veterans are doing is teaching them how to react under various conditions they encounter.

Maj. Tyler Kundel

We've had about $10 million raised by 300 veterans groups across the nation.

Mike Conley

When these 80-year old veterans climb into the cockpit, they're 19 again - for just a brief minute. It's hard to imagine what they went through. They are truly heroes.

Ray Fowler

It's apparent that the Labor Department had some problems seasonally adjusting for the Veterans Day holiday.

Ted Wieseman

The first goal we scored was huge. Once we got the first goal we had life. We believed we were going to win that game. Most of these girls are veterans and every year we have been through overtime.

Kyle Ellingson

I know that's kind of contrite to say, but I look at myself as one of the younger veterans on the team.

Cristie Kerr

I have a lot of veterans on this club and we know that they're going to perform; the key to our team is the younger kids and getting them to step up and perform when the time comes. Right now, it seems like everybody that I put in has performed.

Mark Maxfield

We hope the veterans will visit.

Ruth King

I think we are searching. We went into the season with a certain identity, and obviously things are changing right now. We have one of the best players in the league and a good coaching staff and good veterans. It's a tough stretch right now.

Sarunas Jasikevicius

We feel it's time for veterans in Santa Cruz County to be counted and honored for their service to their country.

Terry Hutchinson

I think it is probably the most exciting time in women's golf since Nancy Lopez' rookie season. But the thing about 1978 was it was just Nancy. She had charisma and excitement and terrific performances. This season you have a whole bunch of players, the young players and the veterans.

Susan Reed

They're smart veterans but at 37, will have trouble containing the speed off the edge of [Saskatchewan's] pass rush.

Greg Frers

He's been a champion for veterans and he's going to be sorely missed.

Joe Violante

You are made or broken at this level with your veterans as far as the chemistry on your club. Veterans can control the atmosphere and mentality of your team, and we were fortunate this year to have those guys.

Aaron Johnson

I know that these events have encouraged veterans to talk about their wartime experience, some for the first time, and pass on their own family's story to younger generations giving them the opportunity to keep these memories alive.

Adam Ingram

We've got a combination of veterans and young kids with limited experience. They've never played in a venue like this.

Rick Magnante

I have been to several of the dinners, and it is absolutely wonderful what Hal has been doing at significant effort and personal expense (every dollar he spends on our veterans could be money he puts in his pocket). You really have to be at one of these dinners to fully appreciate what this means to these soldiers.

Jim Mcdaniel

I'm glad that Billy and all Vietnam veterans, for that matter, are finally getting this kind of recognition. It's as if they're finally getting their due.

Karen Howard

[The program, which was started about five seasons ago, is designed to introduce young people to the full-rage of on-stage and off-stage theatrical skills, and ends the workshop season with a teen production. The adult cast includes ACT veterans Charles Prince, who performed in] Puttin' on the Bitz, ... Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Sarah Roth

It was great to have veterans from the club and young ones getting their first chances and getting a chance to see what former teammates are doing.

Aldo Radamus

We started the Valley Veterans Fundraiser mainly because a lot of veterans' clubs are hurting financially. A couple of them (in the Valley) almost closed.

Robert Owen

We feel Jean will best address the veterans? issues we have expressed throughout our entire campaign both statewide and on a national level. Our members will work to help send Jean to D.C. We endorse her 100 percent.

Bob Mills

You have to measure your success. There's 100 people in the race and only three get medals. We still have a young group. We have a couple veterans. So, we're focused on performances, not results.

James Upham

The question is how many positions can they fill with expensive veterans. The Yankees have a chance to buy and shrewdly deal to avoid a potential collapse of the team, but they also have the ability to go over the cliff, and they could have a long period before they get better.

Gary Gillette

Unfortunately, in the country and in the county we're losing veterans every day.

Matt Lundy

The book provides a tool for people to understand what happens when someone goes into a hostile environment for a week, two weeks or a year. So many veterans come home and go crazy. They think they can just pick up where they left off, but you can't do that. You've changed. You basically have to start over, building those relationships.

Matt Huff

Most of our experience is on defense with four veterans and an experienced goalkeeper back. But a lot of our kids haven't played a lot of varsity field hockey, so our first concern is getting all of them working together.

Janet Baird

We have a lot of players on this team that can make shots, ... When you have your veterans that are not shooting (well), what you do as a post player (is) you try to draw the double-team and get them open shots.

Michelle Snow

Because I'm one of the older players, I'm more of a role model, ... I'm someone to look toward for the younger kids. Our job as veterans is to show how it's done.

Jenny Potter

He told him that he serves with Sen. Akaka on the Veterans Affairs Committee, and he has seen firsthand how hard he works for our nation's veterans and for the people of Hawaii.

Tommy Vietor

It's about our veterans, the men and women who are serving our country.

Peggy Cox

I look forward to speaking with the citizens of Pulaski County about how the judicial system works. Not only am I willing to present the Pillar of Justice Program about the court system, I'm also willing to speak at special events such as Memorial or Veteran's Day, or during special school activities.

David Lowe

It's much like any other team, like a baseball team, a football team, where each year we have guys, older, veterans, all trying out for the same few spots. Each year, every summer they push athletes and drivers are evaluated on their speed and strength, and ability to push a sled. They run through a battery of tests.

Todd Hays

So for, you know, for a good 20 years now I've been involved with veterans and soldiers and in support of them no matter what they're doing.

Gary Sinise

John Kerry takes a backseat to no one when it comes to maintaining the strongest military on the face of the Earth and keeping our promises to America's veterans, and across this country citizens are responding to his call for change.

David Wade

The positive was our team play was further ahead. I thought our guards played the way they should have. They played like I expected since they're the veterans.

Jeff Mittie

By adding records to our online database, the VA also helps families research their genealogy and ensures that future generations of Americans will be able to honor these veterans for their service.

James Nicholson

He's going to flip over to the Veterans Committee next year, ... It's just too bad things couldn't have happened early when he was banned from the game, coming clean. It would be a whole different story.

Brooks Robinson

I thank this organization for giving me the opportunity to win 13 games. I can't say anything bad about the Devil Rays, but it's great to be here with a winning organization. I'm learning a lot from the veterans.

Jorge Sosa

He's just so easy about it all. He was getting disillusioned about the film world. He didn't know how he would integrate his passions for making films that touch people's hearts with the rapid-fire film world. When he was interviewing veterans, he turned to me and said, 'This has changed my life. Now I know what I truly want to do.' Being accepted into Sundance has really validated that.

Annalisa Hodgkins

You can practice your approach, your take off position, those things in the gym. You can do drills that help younger guys, but there's not much for veterans like Will.

Adrian Wilson

We're doing it better as troops are released. They allegedly get a good briefing as to what the veterans benefits are.

George Morgan

I don't think we're that young. We have strong leadership from seniors like Jen Gardner and Katie Dean, and some of the freshmen are contributing already. We have a nice mix of youth and veterans.

Mari Yori

I don't think that veterans have a distinct advantage, ... At most, it causes somebody to take another look at them.

Paul Hackett

We have our best depth in the midfield. Three of our four starters from last season return, giving us a group of experienced veterans.

Michael Moynihan

I don't want to say we feel like we're going to take over for the future or anything like that. The veterans inspired us. They treated us with respect and told us of their past experiences. We took our cue from them.

Christina Kim

We have two very talented veterans in Mercy and Christine and we look for both of them to have another strong year up top for us, ... With the addition of Comfort and Tamika, we will be very athletic and quick on offense. I think these forwards will really cause our opponents to pay special attention to them and that should open other things up for us.

Anne Moore

There is always a need for more money so we can help people. The money raised goes into a general fund. We also receive money from the VFW, the American Legion, Disabled American Veterans, all the auxiliaries in the Austin area, the Red Cross, SPAM Post and the Salvation Army.

Arnie Earl

It would have fun to win last season. Because it was the last season in the barn (Veterans Memorial Auditorium) and because it's the same place (her mother won it in) but I'll take it.

Nelia Olson

The guys have really worked hard and it says a lot about the kind of team we have. The veterans have done a nice job of leading the way and our younger players have really stepped up.

Ron Niekamp

It's a great thing that the company does this and it's a great time to remember them. We often remember them at the holidays and Veterans Day, but in the long, cold days of February it's nice to have some warmth send from stateside.

Kari Lyles

The focus has been on the young guns, but we've got some veterans who can flat out play, too.

Jim Corbin

I want this to be in Veteran's Park, but I don't believe there is compromise.

Richard O'neil

What's key there is working with the different veterans' groups. It really needs to be inclusive.

David Lowell

Forget the veterans. They haven't told me anything, and they better not come tell me anything, either.

Miguel Cabrera

The GAO has validated the problem. Now it's time for the House Veterans Affairs Committee and our Illinois congressional representatives to do something about it. As our troops return home from the Middle East the problem will only be compounded.

Tom Marciciak

On top at forward, veterans Tim Borowski and Mike Alfano should cause problems for other teams' defense.

Tom Konkol

[Convention Chairman Jeff Olsen said the American Legion has met twice before in Hawaii -- the last time was 1981 -- and has always enjoyed record attendance here.] Hawaii is a place where many of our veterans served, ... Many of our Vietnam veterans came to Hawaii for R&R during their term.

Jeff Olsen

These funds will be used efficiently and effectively to find better ways to diagnose, treat and help our veterans.

Dr. Kern Wildenthal

He didn't raise my taxes, he promised me he wouldn't. He's given money to education, more money to health care, more money to the veterans.

Doug Aurand

These underclassmen have gotten enough experience because of the circumstances, and now they're performing more like veterans than rookies.

Keith Hauber

I remain committed to improving the government services to which Hudson Valley veterans are entitled.

Sue Kelly

Both of our fathers are veterans.

Carl Hoffman

The work ethic and effort this team puts forth is great. We have an extremely young team, but the few veterans that we have are stepping up and becoming standouts. Overall that is creating a better team feel, and they have been doing great.

Stephanie Scalessa

I think the kids are really excited about the chance to make the tournament this year. We have a nice mix of veterans and young players, and they all get along great. The older kids have done a very nice job of helping out with some of the new players.

Patrick Johnson

Here today you are helping veterans across the country. It makes me proud to be an American.

Heather French Henry

The exhibit is about the people of Rochester, it's not about the battle or the weapons, ... These are all veterans who lived in the community before or after the war.

David Harrell

We decided that between the two of us we'd probably have about 1,000 names, but we set a goal of 1,500 names and said we'd send something to every person. We figured Veterans Day weekend would be perfect because that would give us about six weeks before Christmas to get the stuff over there.

Carolyn Blashek

When I got here in 1997, there were Korean War veterans talking about it.

Mike Croskey

We get veterans that walk up, and they've honestly seen enough war, they've seen enough of the old bird and they walk away. Others embrace it. They'll stand here and tell stories all day long, and of course, their families can't believe all the conditions they fought under.

Jim Harley

I hear what (the veterans) are saying, and I feel as a parent we need to have factual data for 18-year-olds to make that big, big decision.

Jane Gallucci

You have to give coach Sherman and their seniors credit. A couple of their veterans stepped up when they had to and that's what you have to do in these kinds of games.

Derek Wright

This team is ready to take a big step. You have veterans who've been here four years. Now, they need a little bit of a different direction.

Al Saunders

Eric worked hard. He likes traffic. He gives you the same thing every day - it doesn't matter what group he's in (whether against rookies or veterans).

Darryl Sutter

Its really interesting because you can tell who's been coming for years and who the newbie's are; The veterans will dress normally and the one's who have never seen a show are all gung-ho, and really dress up.

Shannon Sawicki

We have a lot of veterans on this team; we know what it's going to take. We're ready for battle ... I guarantee we are going to leave it out on the floor.

Becky Hammon

Our league is getting great players. It's the place to go and it's great to be a WCHA fan right now, ... Our league is getting younger. Don't be surprised to see the freshmen produce the way veterans do.

Scott Owens

Our young guys aren't hurting us right now. Our veterans have got to step up in a game like this. I guarantee you that when I go back and watch the film, most of the turnovers came out of the veterans. That's where they have to step up.

Steve Mcclain

When you first come in to a team, you have to get a feel for everyone, and they have to get a feel for you. It was pretty easy to come into this team as long as you worked hard. When I came in, I wanted to bring in energy and enthusiasm. We had the veterans. If I could provide leadership, great. But I wanted to concentrate on bringing in energy.

Spencer Nelson

Every day is Veterans Day at the Fort Taber Military Museum. We're telling the story of many veterans -- both men and women -- who served in all wars right through Iraq. We have pictures and artifacts brought in by veterans of many wars.

Donald Moss

His influence and his work and his testimonial about the real world, especially war veterans, was instrumental in making sure (post-traumatic stress disorder) became an actual diagnosis in 1980.

Charles R. Figley

Timing the Trade is a practical how-to trading manual written by an experienced trader. It's a book that can be understood by beginners and appreciated by market veterans.

John Murphy

The grassroots movement by veterans across the country who have decided to run for Congress as Democrats further highlights the dissatisfaction of the American public with the handling of the war in Iraq.

Jen Psaki

Once over there [Balkans], I felt extremely patriotic. Here are these people, from 18-year-olds to military veterans, enduring real duress for the cause of peace. I don't ever want to play for a regular audience again, only military folks who are starving for music.

Sheryl Crow

The clubs that I remember the most were the Veterans Club and the Sport Car [club].

Roger Graham

This year we are looking strong and we are really close to (Mission) Veterans.

Irene Gallegos

I started out trying to mix it up, having some veterans and some rookies on four different lines for the learning aspect. Now it's settled in. I want a very aggressive goal-scorer to be with a good passer with a very good checker. Those combinations are working out good. The opponent is not able to shadow any one line with all our players on it.

Al Murdoch

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

Kent Bailey

Midland's a good team. They've got veterans, they moved the ball, and they got good shots, especially in the second half. We're still learning. We started the game with three 10th-graders, and they're doing fine.

Dave Macdonald
