After months of debate, President Barack Obama will spell out his Afghanistan war plan in an address to the nation Tuesday night.

ABC News has learned the plan calls for an infusion of as many as 35,000 more troops with a vow that there will be no endless U.S. commitment.

Veterans at the American Legion in Jersey Shore are keeping a close watch on what is happening overseas in Afghanistan and here on the homefront. Jim Devine supports the president's decision to send more troops to that war-torn country.

"It's not an easy job to do in the first place. If you have to be hand-tied. I think they need the troops, let's go get the job done," said Devine, a veteran from Trout Run.

At the American Legion in Avis, Clinton County, David Kline is a little more concerned about the United States' policies since troops first went to Afghanistan 8 years ago.

"We're not doing too good. We're just losing too many servicemen, young kids," said Kline, a Vietnam era veteran from Woolrich.

No matter the outcome in Afghanistan or Iraq, Kline believes it is taking a toll on military families all over the country.

"Anybody that has family over there, they're on the edge of their seat all the time. Watching the news hoping not to get a phone call or visit," said Kline.

It has taken President Obama roughly three months to make this decision to send more than 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan. The conflict in Afghanistan is eerily similar to conflicts the U.S. has been involved in in the past, according to some veterans.

"We did the same thing, we had to pull out of Vietnam. They're going to do the same thing there," said Ralph Bierly of Jersey Shore.

Bierly spent 33 months in Vietnam. Given the chance to tell the president what he thinks about sending more men and women to Afghanistan...

"I'd say get them out of over there. What are we doing there in the first place?" questioned Bierly.
