During his Veterans Day speech, President Barack Obama encouraged Americans to unify using veterans as a reference point. Saying, “Whenever the world makes you cynical, whenever you seek true humility and selflessness, look to a veteran. It’s the example of a military that meets every mission, one united team all looking out for one another, all getting each others’ backs. It’s the example of the single most diverse institution in our country. Soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines and coast guardsmen who represent every corner of our country, every shade of humanity, immigrant and native born. Christian, Muslim, Jew and non-believer alike, all forged into common service.”
