Political Quotes

“Mr. President, today I wish to pay tribute to the men and women of our Nation who have given their lives for the cause of freedom and to honor those who are still with us today. On this Memorial Day weekend, let us stand together as Americans to pay our respects and mourn the loss of those brave soldiers who fought in defense of our liberty. As we gather across the Nation, we need to remember the invaluable sacrifices of our troops and their families are debts that can never fully be repaid. Every soldier whose life is taken in the line of duty is a great loss to our Nation. Lives have been sadly shortened, and we all feel an absence. We may never be able to measure the loss, but we can take solace in knowing that their lives served to inspire, defend freedom, and preserve life. Today, we commemorate the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives while serving our country. We must also remember the members of our Armed Forces who are currently in harm's way. In this trying time in America's history, our soldiers have accepted the call of duty, knowing that the road ahead is dangerous and full of hardship. Their courage and resiliency are what make our military the best in the world. Our servicemembers face perilous situations in order to protect Americans from harm, and I am so grateful for all they do. Their commitment of service and self- sacrifice is what we admire, appreciate, and respect.…”
