Today, we remember those who put their lives on the line to protect our country and our cherished freedoms. While many of us will enjoy a day of rest, please keep in mind our brothers and sisters, our mothers and fathers, and our sons and daughters who are willing to sacrifice to protect us and our way of life. The sacrifices they make while serving and the difficulties many bring back home, should be a reminder to us all that we must value them not just one day a year, but all year long."
