You know who I miss in this presidential campaign?

At least one candidate for president made keeping the promise to our veterans a central theme of his campaign, Governor Rick Perry... He has done more to support veterans than any one...

From the Williamson column, "Yet, I am also pessimistic because veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan represent less than 1 percent of the entire population -- this limits the political capital previous veteran generations were able to muster in order to force the political class to not only keep their promises, but keep them in the spirit in which they were made."

"This mission is greater than any one man," Governor Perry speaking this morning as he bows out of the race for President of the United States. "I've always believed the mission is greater than the man."

"For what it's worth, coming from somebody who had the honor and privilege of being able to spill some blood for his country, this is the man and this is the time," Moran said. "This country needs him."
