“As it is for many veterans, Memorial Day is difficult for me. Having served overseas in combat, I have seen incredible acts of heroism. I have seen selfless patriots give everything for a cause greater than themselves. I have seen my friends lay down their lives for one another and for their country on the battlefield.
“Today, we honor those fallen heroes, and we renew our commitment to keeping their memory alive. We are forever indebted to these incredible Americans who not only answered the call to serve, but paid the ultimate price to protect our freedoms. Let us strive to honor their sacrifice today, and every day.”
