From the Patriots of the Revolutionary War to our soldiers of modern day our military enjoys a history of Defense, a tradition of standing in the gap for the average citizen, and a standard of honor that has been waved for well over 200 years even in the face of periodic adversity.
A handshake and a thank you for your service is not enough. Of all the citizens of the United States there are very few that truly understand what many of our military families and citizen soldiers have gone through in times of war, or begin to grasp the extent of their voluntary sacrifice of personal liberty during times of peace.
To our Veterans, both related to me by Blood and by Birthright of Citizenship, I offer you my thanks and the prayers of my family. Though heartfelt appreciation from us the average American is but a small and intangible token, I pray you accept it. Though it is but a small part of all the honor deserved by your service it is yours completely. Thank you for your service and sacrifice as part of the wall of protection the military has provided for the freedom, self determination, and liberty this nation has enjoyed.
