Today marks the 11th anniversary of the start of the war in  Afghanistan. It's another opportunity to honor the sacrifice of our  service members and their families who have bravely answered our  nation's call, and pay tribute to the memory of those who haven't  come home.
President Obama is bringing our troops home. Just this summer,  33,000 servicemen and women were reunited with their families, and  our troops will keep coming home at a steady pace. It's time for our  men and uniform to be reunited with their families, and for us to do  some nation-building here at home.
That's the commitment we expect from our president. Get his back by  using the campaign's Facebook app to make sure your friends and  family are registered and ready to vote for President Obama.

The President has shown an unwavering commitment to our veterans and  their families. He's fought to expand and improve benefits -- from  access to the health care our veterans need to the education and job  opportunities they deserve when they return home.
On the other side, Mitt Romney has refused to even outline a plan to  end the war or bring our troops home. In the biggest speech of his  life -- when he accepted the Republican nomination for president --  he failed to mention the war in Afghanistan or our troops serving  there even once. Romney has irresponsibly suggested that the VA  privatize parts of its health care system. And he even called ending  the war in Iraq "tragic" and said he would have left as many as  30,000 troops there indefinitely.
The American people -- and our men and women in uniform -- deserve  more from someone who wants to be commander-in-chief.
Ask your friends and family to register to vote or check their  status today, and make sure our veterans and military families will  continue to have a president who is advocating for us:
