奥巴马总统每周电台英语演讲稿

hi, everybody. this week, america came together

tosalute our veterans – to express our

appreciationto all who rved so that we might live

free. but ourgratitude should extend beyond what

our veteranshave done for us in the past. it should

remind us ofour responsibilities to rve them as well

as theyhave rved us. it should compel us to keep

ourveterans central to the ongoing work of this

nation.

in recent years, we've made historic investments

toboost the va budget, expand veterans' benefits,and

improve care for our wounded warriors. we've now

slashed the disability claims backlog bynearly 90

percent from its peak. we're reducing the outrage of

veterans' homelessness andwe've helped tens of

thousands of veterans get off the streets. the

veterans' unemploymentrate is down to 3.9 percent

– even lower than the national average.

of cour, we're not satisfied. we've still got

more work to do – and i've directed

myadministration to keep doing everything it can to

fulfill our promi to our veterans. but thisisn't just a

job for government alone. we all have a role to play.

less than one percent ofamericans are rving in

uniform. so it's true most americans don't always e

andappreciate the incredible skills and asts that our

veterans can offer. but every americanshould know

that our veterans are some of the most talented,

capable people in the 've mastered skills

and technologies and leadership roles that are

impossible to teach offthe battlefield. they know how

to get stuff done.

and as our veterans will tell you themlves,

they're not finished rving their country.

they'reteachers and doctors, engineers and

entrepreneurs, social workers and community

rve in statehous across the country

and in congress. as i tell small business ownersand

ceos on a regular basis, if you want to get the job

done, hire a vet. every ctor, everyindustry, every

community in this country can benefit from the

incredible talents of ourveterans.

our troops and veterans give us their very best.

that's what a soldier named captain florentgroberg

proved. three years ago, on patrol in afghanistan, flo

saw a suicide bomber comingtoward his unit.

without hesitating, flo grabbed him by his vest and

helped push him to theground. when the bomb went

off, flo was badly injured, and four of his comrades

were many more were saved becau of

flo's sacrifice. flo reprents the very best of america

–and this week, i was proud to prent him with the

medal of honor for his actions.

veterans like flo, they derve our undying

gratitude. they derve the chance to keeprving the

country they risked everything to defend. and so we

must come together to keepgiving them that chance,

not just on veterans day, but on every single day of

the year. maygod bless all tho who rve and all

who have given their lives for our country. and may

godbless the united states of america.
