Honoring America’s Veterans and Their Families by Congressman John Kline
-Submitted by Congressman John Kline (R-Minn)
As we prepare to honor our veterans today, we remember the sacrifice of those true American heroes who have died and honor those who are still with us.
The tireless efforts of our nation’s servicemen and women and those who served before them have guaranteed generations of Americans the freedom and security we enjoy. While they deserve our gratitude every day, today’s holiday provides our nation an opportunity to come together to honor all veterans, those currently serving, and their families in our thoughts and prayers.
As a nation, we owe more than our gratitude to those brave men and women who have sacrificed so much to protect the freedom and liberty that we all cherish.
May God bless our veterans and their families today and every day, and may God continue to bless America.
