Madam Speaker, tomorrow, May 18, our Nation celebrates Armed Forces Day. Recognized the third Saturday in May since President Truman, Armed Forces Day is a time for us to pay special tribute to the brave men and women serving in all areas of the military. It is also a time to educate the public on the impacts that our servicemembers have on communities across the country. As the proud father of a soldier, I am endlessly grateful for the selfless actions of our servicemembers and their devotion to country. Our servicemen and -women serve throughout the world as a beacon of light, carrying with them our values of liberty and justice. This service is often done on foreign lands and away from family and friends, but their willingness to defeat any threat that seeks to harm American values and interests never wavers. Madam Speaker, with this day, we hope to show our appreciation so those honored are aware of how much we think of them and their sacrifices. ____________________
