As you know, this Monday is Memorial Day, and Memorial Day reminds us that the most fundamental right of Americans, the one we cherish most, is to be free. But that freedom is purchased at a dear price. I rise in gratitude to the millions of Americans who have made the sacrifice, the ultimate sacrifice, and to their family members. I remember in particular Private David R. Fahey of Yorktown Heights, New York, from our own District 19, who made the ultimate sacrifice this year. Thanks to all of our veterans and all of our families who do so much to assure that we enjoy the freedoms that we cherish every day. ____________________
