“Mr. President, I rise to mark Military Appreciation Month and to pay tribute to the many military members and veterans who have sacrificed in service to our Nation. This month provides an opportunity to show our immense gratitude to all those who have donned a uniform in our Armed Forces. The freedoms and blessings we enjoy as a nation have been secured by their hard work and determination. Military Appreciation Month culminates in Memorial Day--the date set aside to honor the men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our Nation. While we honor their memory on Memorial Day, we remember their loss every day and extend our gratitude to their loved ones, as well as to those who continue to serve. We also recognize that those who serve do not serve alone. The friends and families of those in the service of our country also serve, and those who have lost loved ones know too well the cost of our freedoms. I believe that we best honor and pay tribute to our military members by thanking them, both past and present, and by ensuring they have the resources and support they have so richly earned. As a member of the Senate Defense and Veterans' Affairs Appropriations Subcommittees, I have worked with my colleagues to ensure that our veterans and military members are properly trained and equipped and receive the care, benefits, and recognition they were promised.…”
