DAVENPORT, Iowa—Military veterans reacted favorably to former Vice President Mike Pence’s commitment to fight for veterans’ benefits and improve the plight of American service members who have returned from war.
“As a nation, we’ve got … to come alongside the men and women who have put on the uniform and have paid the price. I’m going to make you a promise: When I am president of the United States of America, we’re going to make a nationwide commitment to driving veterans’ suicide to zero, so help me God,” Mr. Pence told a group of mostly elderly veterans at the Quad City Veterans Outreach Center on Aug. 10.
