Their service and dedication reflect a devotion to freedom and a willingness to defend it that has been inspirational to Americans throughout our Nation. Through no fault of their own. these veterans did not have the free homeland to return to that other allies enjoyed. Rather than submit to tyranny. they emigrated to the West where they and their children have set an example of civic duty and love of country. Passage of the bill I have introduced today will in a small way show our appreciation for the many sacrifices made by these veterans. Passage of this bill will also help spare them the agony of poverty and suffering many now endure as they grow older and are unable to meet increased physical and financial burdens.
