So on this day, of all days, let's memorialize our fallen heroes by honoring all who wear our country's uniform.
To fight out a war, you must believe something and want something with all your might.
I know that our sadness today is mixed with pride; that those we've lost will be remembered by a grateful nation.
What makes America's servicemen and women heroes is not just their sense of duty, honor, and country.
On this Memorial Day, our nation honors the generations of patriots who were willing to give their lives to defend this country.
All Americans hold in reverence those who've given this country the full measure of their devotion.
Puerto Rico is '... definitely a territory' and one that is '... trying to figure out' if it wants to remain one.
