Thanks, General.

I have a question about commemoration and how the veterans feel about society appreciating their service.

In our case, in the city of Hamilton, when our young Afghan veterans came back, we struck a pin. It was the City of Hamilton Overseas Service Pin for Afghanistan. This went over quite well, so we did it again with Korea and others.

I'd like to ask you whether there are any issues at all with your veterans and how they feel the public is appreciative of the service that they did for their country.
