Today, we pause to honor the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. We remember not only those who returned home, but especially those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our nation.
As veterans, we share a common oath: to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. That oath represents a commitment to something greater than ourselves and to the enduring principles of liberty, democracy, and the rule of law.
America's story continues to be written by each generation. While our nation is not perfect, it remains an extraordinary experiment in self-government that depends on the engagement, responsibility, and participation of its citizens. The freedoms we enjoy today were secured through the service and sacrifice of those who wore our nation's uniform and are sustained through the involvement of all who call this country home.
On this Veterans Day, we express our deepest gratitude to all veterans and military families for their dedication, courage, and service. We also encourage everyone to remain engaged in their communities, to contribute where they can, and to exercise the rights and responsibilities that help strengthen our democracy.
To all who have served: thank you for your sacrifice, your commitment, and your unwavering dedication to our country. We are forever grateful.
Happy Veterans Day.

On Veterans Day, we pause to remember those who served and especially those who did not return. Those of us who have served took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution. That Constitution and the Republic which it established are not perfect but rather are an ongoing experiment in liberty within the rule of law. And that experiment needs the involvement of all of us. Stay involved. And every chance you have, do something most people on this planet cannot do – VOTE.
