This edition of the Forum is a small tribute to the men and women who put their lives on the line in defense of our freedom, and thanking those heroes this Veterans Day.
Let History Guide Us on Veterans Day
The price of freedom is never free. That is the lesson today’s Veterans continue to teach us.
Service, Sacrifice, and a Sacred Duty
Veterans Day is our national holiday to honor the sacrifice of our veterans and to celebrate their bravery and skill.
“I’ll Never Forget My Time in Military Service.”
The VA should absolutely be held accountable for how they help care for our veterans, and I’m continuing to press them on that issue.
More Than a Day of Remembrance, Veterans Day is a Call to Action.
I am humbled daily by the sacrifice that countless men, women, and families endure on behalf of a grateful nation.
“It Takes a Special Person to Take Up Arms in Defense of Our Country.”
As a Marine, I swore to always remain faithful to those serving by my side.
“We Will Always Need Defenders, and We Will Always Protect Them.”
I am a firm believer that we must honor the commitments we’ve made to our veterans – those who place themselves in harm’s way to defend our values and way of life.
“Their Willingness to Protect this Country Shall Never be Forgotten.”
Their willingness to protect this country shall never be forgotten, and I want our Veterans to know their service and patriotism is very much appreciated.
“Service is Always Greater than Self.”
Outside of becoming a father and grandfather, having the unique opportunity to lead Marines in the fight has always been the proudest moment in my life.
Let’s get back to the things that defined America for generations: love of country, patriotism, optimism, and a deep appreciation of our veterans of past and present.
“We must Ensure Our Veterans Know that They are Not Alone.”
As we evaluate how best to help our veterans in the 21st century, I believe community is key.
“Every Service Member is United in Their Choice to Put Service Before Self.”
I became a bomb technician because I wanted to save lives and serve a cause greater than myself.
“We will Remain Always Faithful.”
Semper Fidelis is not just a slogan or creed; it is a way of life that only those who have earned the Eagle, Globe and Anchor can fully understand.
“It is Essential that We Take Care of Those Who Took Care of Us.”
Our country has sent generations of heroes to defend our freedom. It is essential that we take care of those who took care of us.
“Be Grateful for the Many Sacrifices that Keep Us Free.”
It is only with age that I have come to realize and truly understand the significance of the sacrifices that veterans made.
“To All of Our Nation’s Veterans, We Thank You”
My experience in uniform has taught me that focusing on a mission makes it harder to be distracted by other things.
“Let Us Never Forget Those Who Willingly Step Forward to Shoulder the Duty.”
We each benefit from the sacrifices of those who put their lives on the line to defend the freedom, peace, and prosperity we enjoy as a country.
“America Has Been a Shining Example of Freedom Because of Those Who Serve Her in Uniform.”
America has been a shining example of freedom because of those who serve her in uniform. To my fellow veterans, thank you and God bless you and your families!
