Today we honor all those men and women who serve and have served to protect and defend freedom, security and our great nation.
This year, Veterans’ Day falls so soon after a brutal attack; even as we reserve time to honor our veterans, our nation mourns those men and women killed last week at Fort Hood, and we hold those families close in thought. We also remember those today who have lost loved ones in combat this year; your sacrifices and those of our brave service members will never be forgotten.
Our nation enjoys freedom and liberty because of the great sacrifice, dedication, and determination of our veterans and their families; today we salute them. And while our country has set aside a specific day to recognize our veterans, we should thank them each and every day. Our gratitude can never measure up to their sacrifice, but we will never forget everything they do to ensure our safety and security.
