Deborah Gatrell: Veterans have a home in Utah’s Democratic Party

“Democrats believe America must continue to have the strongest military in the world … Our country has a sacred, moral responsibility to … our veterans and wounded warriors. We must take care of those who have put their lives on the line to defend us.”

Our military leaders rightly avoid partisan bickering. Those in military service focus on defending our great country knowing politics has no place in that business. Fortunately, politicians generally cooperate when it comes to military funding and taking care of veterans.

Utah tries to do this as well, with outreach from the state Department of Military and Veterans Affairs and a decent VA Hospital.
