<p>John McCain
<br />Speech
<br />Denver, CO 07/25/08</p>
<p>TOPIC: McCain, Veterans, Disability, Healthcare, injury, soldiers</p>
<p>TRANSCRIPT:
<br />MCCAIN: "Those who have borne the burden of war for our sake must be treated fairly and expeditiously as they seek compensation for disability or illness. We owe them compassion, knowledge and hands-on care in their transition to civilian life. We owe them training, rehabilitation and education. We owe their families, parents and caregivers our concern and support. They should never be deprived of quality medical care and mental health care coverage for illness or injury incurred as a result of their service to our country."</p>

<p>Sometimes you just have to be there, or at least have your camera. </p>
<p>You have to give some credit as John McCain faces questions from advocates for people with disabilities, impeachment seekers, veteran's vote counters, civil liberties supporters, and some seriously enthusiastic supporters. Seriously.</p>
