As history closes the chapter on Iraq, Americans from all corners of the country want to respect all those who served there, remember those who died, and respond to the challenges they're now facing at home from record unemployment to troubling suicide rates. It's time for all of us, from the president to the Pentagon to mayors and ordinary citizens nationwide, to work together to channel our collective goodwill and support and momentum to deliver critical resources to the veterans' community. Instead of having scattered parades all year long, we should work together -- civilians and veterans united -- to create one historic day of action: parades, memorials and service fairs in cities and towns large and small.
