:: Veteran-Related Press Releases

 

America’s veterans are the reason we are able to enjoy the freedoms we have today.  Because of their sacrifice and honor, our country has prevailed over the worst of foes.  That is why it is imperative that our country never forgets the price that has been paid for the quality of life that we now enjoy.  A veteran is the picture of courage, strength, resolve and loyalty.  My commitment to the highest standard of treatment to our veterans will not waiver.  The debt that is owed to the men and women who have shed their blood for our freedoms is one that can never fully be repaid.  However, as a country it is our duty to respect the memory of those lost and honor those who have fought on the beaches of Normandy, the hills of Korea, the jungles of Vietnam, the mountains of Afghanistan and the sands of Iraq.  They are our neighbors and fellow citizens and their sacrifice demands our humility and deepest gratitude.
