Today, on this Veteran’s Day, I can’t help but express my sincere gratitude and indebtedness for those who have fought for freedom – not only for our nation, but for freedom around the globe. To our veterans of yesterday, those serving today, and those who are so willing and desirous to prepare to serve, I am most grateful for you.

I am also grateful for the families and loved ones of our veterans — they who have also sacrificed and have made it possible for these amazing men and women to serve and protect our nation.

Thank you.
