Brian Whitman Quotes
The service members don't ask much of us. They ask to be well trained. They ask to be well equipped and they ask to be well led. And if something should happen to them, they ask that we take care of their families.

Surely the first people we will seek to find there will be father, mother, spouse, children, and siblings.

Nearly every industrialized nation, with the exception of the United States, recognizes this and provides some form of guaranteed support to families.
