For five long years there has been a cost of this war that the Administration not only has ignored, but has simply refused to talk about - that’s the cost of caring for our veterans when they come home. Now we are learning exactly what it will cost America to keep our promise to those who have served. It’s a time to ask whether our country has done enough to repay our veterans for all they have given to secure our safety.  As thousands return home from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan – some from their fifth tour of duty – I wish I could say the answer to this question is a resounding ‘Yes.’ But as this report shows, we have much progress to make – and years of work ahead of us.
