Quote

The veterans of our military services have put their lives on the line to protect the freedoms that we enjoy. They have dedicated their lives to their country and deserve to be recognized for their commitment.

While only one day of the year is dedicated solely to honoring our veterans, Americans must never forget the sacrifices that many of our fellow countrymen have made to defend our country and protect our freedoms.

Veterans are a symbol of what makes our nation great, and we must never forget all they have done to ensure our freedom.

Honoring the sacrifices many have made for our country in the name of freedom and democracy is the very foundation of Veterans Day.

Freedom does not come without a price. We may sometimes take for granted the many liberties we enjoy in America, but they have all been earned through the ultimate sacrifice paid by so many of the members of our armed forces.

Our veterans have already given everything they have to support and defend our nation - some of them sacrificing life and limb.

America's Veterans have served their country with the belief that democracy and freedom are ideals to be upheld around the world.

I understand the sacrifices American servicemen and women have made to protect freedom and democracy in my country and around the world.

The willingness of America's veterans to sacrifice for our country has earned them our lasting gratitude.

While we enjoy the benefits of living in the greatest democracy in the world, we must be ever conscious of the fact that none of the achievements or freedoms enjoyed in America would be possible without the price that has been paid for by our servicemen and women.
