Political Quotes

On the recordNovember 14, 2013
This past weekend we remembered the brave men and women who have sacrificed so much for this Nation. In many cases, their families join in that sacrifice, forced to be apart for birthdays and other family celebrations while their loved ones serve overseas. I am so grateful for these defenders of freedom who make the tough commitment to be away from their families so they can protect us abroad so we can enjoy peace at home. As these military families make sacrifices, we remember our own families who benefit from their service. I want to wish my incredible son, Kaden, a happy birthday as he turns 12 today. Your mom and I are so blessed by having you in our family, and we are looking forward to the great future God has planned for you. I am so glad that we will be able to see each other this weekend and celebrate, when many other fathers and mothers abroad have to wait months to celebrate with their own kids. Birthdays and holidays give us another chance to pause and remember them this year. Thank you, veterans. And happy birthday, Kaden. ____________________
