Weekly Address: Giving Veterans their Chance
Source: White House
In this week's address, President Obama honored our nations veterans, who have served and sacrificed in defense of our country. This past week, Americans came together on Veterans Day to pay tribute to those men and women in uniform who have risked their lives to protect our freedom.
In recent years weve worked to reduce the veterans unemployment rate to 3.9 percent and slash the disability claims backlog at the VA by nearly 90 percent from its peak. But there is still more that can be done. Since day one of his Administration, the President has remained committed to serving the brave men and women who have served us. And in his address, he reminded us that we all have a role to play in ensuring that veterans have the opportunities and support they deserve.

Before they aired it on the radio here this morning, the broadcaster interestingly noted that this address "had been recorded before the Paris attacks". I do expect that the address was done as part of the observance of Veteran's Day (Armistice Day) this past week.
