Quote by Jennifer Granholm

We can't equate spending on veterans with spending on defense. Our strength is not just in the size of our defense budget, but in the size of our hearts, in the size of our gratitude for their sacrifice. And that's not just measured in words or gestures.

We can't equate spending on veterans with spending on defens

Summary

This quote emphasizes that the value of supporting veterans cannot be solely measured by the amount of money allocated to defense. While a strong defense budget is important, the true strength of a nation lies in its empathy and gratitude towards those who have sacrificed for their country. This measure of appreciation cannot be quantified by mere words or superficial gestures, but rather by the extent of the compassion and care shown towards veterans. The quote suggests that it is essential to acknowledge and support veterans not just financially, but also emotionally and with genuine gratitude.
