We featured two veterans on "The Real Story" Thursday who gave a lot to keep this country safe. They have multiple amputations as part of their sacrifice. They aren’t asking for any special attention or anyone to feel sorry for them. They don't want peoples' pity. Instead they want to inspire.

The military is full of strong people and leaders. The best thing vets say we can do is buy from companies owned and operated by veterans, and hire vets or help them get job training.
