Veterans' progress this year, and thanks!

Paul Rieckhoff, from the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, sent out what he feels they're grateful for. I feel it's worth sharing with everyone:

Together, we ensured that our nation's lawmakers gave our newest generation of veterans the educational benefits they earned with the passing of the new GI Bill. ... And together, we're ensuring that President-elect Obama makes veterans a priority in his administration, even before he takes office. Next year, we will continue to face challenges head-on. Together, we'll tackle crucial issues, from home foreclosures among veterans, to the treatment of mental health injuries for those returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
