Today, on Veteran’s Day, we come together as a nation to recognize and honor the bravery, resilience, and sacrifices of the men and women who have served in our armed forces. Our freedoms and way of life are safeguarded because of their dedication, often at great personal cost, as they stood ready to defend the ideals that make our country what it is.
No matter what side of the aisle we sit on or what our personal beliefs may be, we all owe a debt of gratitude to our veterans. They have defended our rights and freedoms for generations, allowing us to speak, live, and pursue our dreams freely. Their courage and commitment are what make it possible for us to voice our opinions, to have open discussions, and to uphold the values that unite us as a country.
Veterans from every generation and branch of service—Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and now Space Force—have answered a call higher than themselves. Whether they served on the front lines or supported operations behind the scenes, each played a vital role in safeguarding our nation’s security and values.
Today, let’s extend our deepest gratitude to every veteran for their service, sacrifices, and unwavering dedication. We honor you, we thank you, and we are inspired by your strength—today and every day.
