On this day we pay honor to these who gave all for our freedom. When the cannons of World War One were silenced, we thought we had fought the “war to end all wars,” but as history proved, we still needed our Soldiers. Peace, though fragile, is often wrought from hands once strong enough to toil at the anvil of war. Today we honor the strength, courage and dedication of our veterans who not only wield the hammer of conflict, but also helped shape the world in hope of a lasting peace.
The brave actions of our veterans endure in the pages of history. Today I want us to not only remember their gallantry on the battlefield, but also look at the lasting legacy of strength and service they brought with them when they returned home.
Our veterans are soldiers for life. During their careers and their lives they have continued to improve their skills, ensuring they are remain strong for themselves, their families, their communities and their nation. They do this as a tribute to their comrades who fell in battle that we honor along with them on this day.
The sacrifices of our soldiers, veterans, and their families must never be forgotten. It is their sacrifices that helped make us us what we are today as a people and a nation. They deserve our gratitude, our support, and our prayers. These men and women of valor have paid the price so we could be free.
I salute you Veterans on this Memorial Day.
