Honoring Our Veterans

soldiers sunsetToday is Veterans Day — the day set aside for us honor those who have served in our Armed Forces and risked their lives to preserve and protect the unparalleled freedom and opportunity we enjoy as Americans.

As we celebrate Veterans Day, may we all take time to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who have fought, suffered and died for our freedom.

Without their sacrifices, we would not have the freedom to worship as we choose.

Without their sacrifices, we would not have freedom of speech.

Without their sacrifices, we would not have freedom of the press.

Without their sacrifices, we would not have private property rights.

Without their sacrifices, we would not have the right to assemble in groups.

Without their sacrifices, we might well be living under another nation’s flag — against our will.

Today, let us all take time to reflect on the incredible freedoms we enjoy as Americans and to thank those who have risked their lives to protect those freedoms.
