Military Times noted:
The 196 veterans on House and Senate ballots this year represents the largest field of individuals with military experience running for office in a decade, and could lead to an increase in the total number of veterans in Congress starting next year.
Happy Veterans Day! We are forever grateful for the sacrifices made by the members of our military and their families.
This Veterans day, we honor all the men and women who answered the call to serve in our armed forces.
