How can we keep lincoln's promise to veterans

In his speech, Lincoln believed that we should care for those fought in battle.  Many of these brave soldiers risked their lives to protect the country as well as the freedom of its citizens.  Many have been crippled while others gave their lives to defend their country.  It is only fitting that we look after them and their families for the sacrifices that they have made.  People should help them transition to civilian life when they have served their term.  Today there are programs and groups that help veterans and their families in times of need.  Employment, medical and housing programs have benefited many veterans who served their country.  Hopefully we do more for them.
