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.

Nobody's more mindful of the sacrifices of our troops than those of us that command them.

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

On Memorial Day, we remember the service of those brave military men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice defending and protecting our freedoms.

I cannot, or will not, take the freedoms this country offers for granted. But these freedoms have come with a price so many times. The sacrifices made by our veterans are reminders to us of this.

I take care of military families. Their sacrifices are very real.

I have the most utmost respect for the men and women overseas, and I only played a soldier on television. Again, I can only imagine the sacrifices that they make every single day.

We really owe it to the military for what they do day in and day out that we never even hear about.

I think that you can honour the sacrifices of a common soldier without glorifying war.

I thought that that mission and the mission of taking care of those soldiers were my priorities, and I stand by the same today. There wasn't a lot of support for those soldiers.
