This Veterans Day, remember the veterans, remember our families and remember to fight for our benefits just as diligently as we fought to preserve our freedoms
Aguilar is a retired brigadier general who served in the U.S. Marine Corps for 31 years. He is president and CEO of the Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum and lives in San Diego. The spirit behind Veterans Day is to remember those who honorably served and put their lives on the line for the good of our country. Battles such as Belleau Wood, Iwo Jima, Chosin Reservoir, Hue and Fallujah are firmly etched in United States Marine Corps lore.
Because of these core values, I feel the need to express my grave concern about this proposed policy change, as it would leave veterans, particularly Marines and other veterans living in rural communities, behind, not in far-flung foreign lands but right in our backyard. Preserving a robust system for ambulances, especially for the 4.4 million veterans in rural areas, is critical for the health and well-being of former service members, including myself, in Southern California.
