Barack Obama for America 2012 Television Ad - "Sacred Trust"

 Barack Obama for America 2012 Television Ad - "Sacred Trust"

The sacrifices that our troops have made have been incredible. It's because of what they've done that we've been able to go after Al Qaeda and kill Bin Laden. When they come home we have a sacred trust to make sure that we are doing everything we can to heal all of their wounds. Giving them the opportunities that they deserve to find a job and get the education that they need. It's not enough just to make a speech about how we value veterans. It's not enough just to remember them on Memorial Day.

A commitment to Medicare as personal as yours.
