It simply admitted, almost in silence, that the number had been insultingly low for far too long. The proposed increase to $67,500 a year is less a reward than a late confession: the country has leaned on these sixty living recipients to carry memory, trauma, and patriotism on their backs, often on their own dime. They revisit the worst days of their lives so the rest of us don\u2019t forget what war really costs.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-10\">\n<div id=\"anchorslot\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\"><\/div>\n<p>Yet no check can balance that ledger.
