Honoring Those That Serve

As we gather today to celebrate Veterans Day, I find myself reflecting on the incredible legacy of service and sacrifice that runs through my family. Veterans from every branch of the military have shaped our history, protected our freedoms, and inspired us with their unwavering dedication. Today, I want to take a moment to express my deep gratitude and appreciation for all veterans, past and present.

To my family members who served courageously—thank you. Your commitment to duty and selflessness in the face of adversity have not only safeguarded our nation but have also instilled in me a profound respect for those who wear the uniform. From the honorable service in the Army to the bravery in the Navy, the dedication shown in the Air Force, the steadfastness of the Marine Corps, and the commitment of the Coast Guard, each branch carries its own unique legacy that deserves our homage.

Veterans Day is more than just a day off work or a time for sales; it is a sacred reminder of the sacrifices made by so many. It’s a time to honor the sacrifices of those who have given their all—not just in battle, but in their everyday lives once they return home. Many carry the weight of unforgettable experiences, and they need our support and gratitude more than ever.

To all the veterans out there, know that your bravery does not go unnoticed. Thank you for your service, for your courage, and for your resilience. Each of you has contributed a piece to the story of our nation, and every day you inspire us to strive for a better world.

As we observe this special day, let us not only remember the past but also pledge to support our veterans and their families today and every day. Whether it is through a simple thank you, volunteering, or advocating for policies that support their needs, it is our duty to ensure their sacrifices are honored in the most meaningful ways.

Today, I raise a salute to the heroes among us—thank you for your service. Your contributions echo through generations and remind us that freedom isn’t free. It is paid for with bravery and love, by individuals who have chosen to protect our way of life.

With heartfelt thanks and gratitude,
