The Last Thing: Remember Your Oath

Susan Zeier, who lost her son-in-law to lung cancer, promised she’d stay on Capitol Hill with fellow veterans and their families until the PACT Act was passed. Now after its passage, she’s retiring her son-in-law’s jacket.

The GQP has no bottom. Bravo to this brave mom fighting for her son's legacy ...

[michaelwenzelow]

Today I celebrate for my brother and sister veterans. It's a small win, but still a win. And I promise that we will NOT stop fighting until each and every veteran receives all that was promised to us. The autocrats will NOT put us away and forget us.

[avisrobinson]

I just don't understand why we don't help the veterans more! 😕

[morenamontalvo]

Bless you Susan your son I'm sure is by your side
Smiling down. you and so many ACCOMPLISHED what should have been done years ago
🇺🇸God Bless our veterans 🇺🇸

[garykubodera]

Sadly a great deal of the GQP seem not to honor that same oath that Veterans, active duty military personnel and myself.. But it's ok, we now truly know who supports us and is playing political games with the benifits we have earned.. It's certainly not the (r)epublican/GQP!! All of us will remember this come election time!! A disabled US Army Veteran

It's really sad that the trolls would rather praise their orange emperor than support US veterans.

We owe it to our troops to care for them when they return. They put their lives on the line, risk long term health issues and psychological ramifications, leave their families for years, all to protect our country, our sovereignty and our freedom. The absolute least we can do is make sure they have a strong VA to look out for them. If there's one aspect of military spending we ought to all agree on, regardless of party or our views on individual conflicts, it should be a well funded VA.

Bless our veterans: the GOP is shameful.

[niclewis]

We saw how much GOP back the Blue on January 6.
We saw how much they back our Veterans over health care.

[thayerpayne]

What an amazing woman staying on target and pushing across the finish line on what was far overdue, thank your GOP for all the pain they made our Veterans suffer, signed into law for those still here suffering the ailments of war and even those future soldiers that know not what comes in the future while knowing her son would never benefit from her fight. Again what a beautiful selfless woman fighting to try to save others from the horrid treatment her son received.

[joerogain]

Oath Keepers aka Oaf Keepers wouldn't know an Oath if it hit them side a the head. I hear they are ratting 🐀🐀 out on each other left, tight and center!

[alexdelaluna]

I'd suggest that we should take the salaries and corporate commisions from all those Republican congresspeople who voted "No" on the Pact Act and give them to the veterans and their families.

[terrydorland]

Republican senators really really really need to be ashamed of themselves! I really fail to understand how they can be such a waste of space and resources!

[LizFromDecencyUnited]

Remember which Republicans voted against this bill! When you go to the polls this November, VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE! Elections have consequences, show these faithless, self-centered, arrogant Republican politicians that their refusal to support our Veterans mean we refuse to support THEM!
Vote BLUE! Vote as if your life depends on it, because it very well may!

[Aaron-ycyp]

We need to galvanized all Americans across party lines and vote blue to safeguard American democracy 💙 🇺🇲 2022 democracy is at its precipice for become an authoritarianism. We cannot have election deniers in office. Inflation will eventually go away but democracy will be gone forever

[ohmy]

just God Bless us all & each, and p l e a s e Grant us enough discernment 🙏

[dr.debbiewilliams]

I did not have to take an oath. God bless them.

[cynthiahutchins]

And I didn’t see her slobber on a flag once.

[bighornjournals]

Why don’t you tell Joe disaster this.
Remember your oath to America and the constitution.
Don’t tear it apart

[lindalauer]

THOSE VETERANS HAVE SURE WAITED A LONG TIME SO FAR.. SO, I ASK ONCE AGAIN, WHY NOW ??

[t.r.campbell]

At least our antifa people don’t have to give an oath.
