Yet for the millions who served there. the memory will never fade. In all too many cases. their sacrifices continue. It would be unconscionable for our Government to ignore the problems of our Vietnam veterans and those who love them. We must demonstrate the same compassion toward those individuals that we have for the hundreds of thousands of refugees from Southeast Asia who have made new lives on our shores. As Members of Congress. we must ensure that our Government upholds its obligation to those who answered its call. If we fail in that regard. we surrender forever the moral basis for demanding similar sacrifices from future generations of Americans.
