Summary

My mind was on the debt we owe our veterans even before the tragic shootings at Fort Hood. A couple of weeks before Veterans Day, I went down to the National World War II Memorial on the Mall to join Bob and Elizabeth Dole and a group of elderly soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen from her home town of Salisbury, N.C., who had been flown to Washington that morning to get their first view of the nation's tribute to the troops that helped defeat Hitler's forces.
