We should finish the job we began for the sake of that future and in the service of our own interests and values.

I have greatly valued his service.

I will always remember Larry for his friendship and for his service to his community and our country.

Our Nation is safer, our Armed Forces are stronger, and our world is a better place because of your service.

His service to our Nation, spanning 39 years, rises from the ranks of Army private to the highest military office in the land.

Frank was a friend who dedicated himself to serving his country and community.

Thank you, Ron Coleman, for the great service you have rendered to this district, to Texas, and to your country.

Most veterans in civilian life continue devoting their energies to the service of their country and communities.

Today we salute their service, honor their sacrifice, thank them for supporting this Nation in every hour of need.

We owe them as well a guarantee that we will continue to defend the American ideals for which they have served and sacrificed.

I wish every American could see firsthand what the men and women of our military are accomplishing under very difficult conditions.

Larry's service to his country did not begin with his diplomatic assignment.

But—whether you were furloughed or working—by your commitment and your sacrifice, you continued to serve our nation as loyally as ever during this crisis.

His dedicated and exceptional career is cherished by everyone who knew of his extraordinary courage, legendary reputation, and selfless service.

They embodied the spirit of service that sets our Nation apart.

I am profoundly grateful to you for your service to this country.

I thank you for your service and your devotion to your country.

It is a time not just for inward reflection but for rededication to the needs of the wider community and the requirement of service to others.
