Washington - On the eve of Veteran's Day, US Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) released the following statement in honor of the men and women who serve in our Armed Forces:

"As we prepare to celebrate Veteran's Day, we keep in our thoughts and prayers those who have served in our Armed Services during wartime or peacetime - particularly those who are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan right now and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. These remarkable men and women deserve our thanks not just on Veteran's Day, but every day. Remembering their service to our country has always helped guide my efforts in the Senate on behalf of our nation's veterans and their families. We owe them so much, which is why I will always fight to ensure that they and their families are provided with the health care, education and job opportunities needed to keep them healthy and prosperous upon their return to civilian life."
