Obama focused his Veterans Day remarks on the growing ranks of former troops who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“We’re in the midst of a new wave of American veterans,” said Obama, referring to a generation of men and women who have weathered the longest stretch of war in U.S. history. Those veterans have struggled in recent years to get care from an overwhelmed Department of Veterans Affairs. They’ve faced a higher unemployment rate than their civilian peers and an increase in suicides."


At Arlington National Cemetery, Obama spoke of progress in reducing waiting times for veterans and a plummeting unemployment rate among vets.

He stressed the country’s continuing obligation to do more to improve the Department of Veterans Affairs and help veterans find work.


Hail to the Chief we have chosen for the nation. Hail to the Chief! We salute him, one and all. Hail to the Chief, as we pledge cooperation, in proud fulfillment of a great, noble call. Yours is the aim to make this grand country grander. This you will do, that's our strong, firm belief. Hail to the one we selected as commander. Hail to the President! Hail to the Chief!
