WASHINGTON–– U.S. Senator John Boozman (R-AR) released the following video message commemorating Memorial Day and the selfless men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in our nation’s uniform:
“It’s Memorial Day, a time to pay homage to the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country. It’s because of these brave heroes that all Americans are able to enjoy the freedoms we hold so dear.
On this special day, we honor the service of those who fought and gave their lives defending America and our way of life. I am so very grateful for the sacrifices they have made to further strengthen our nation and protect our citizens.
The more than one million American service members throughout history who have lost their lives in service to our nation’s values represent the best of us. The incredible courage and selflessness they demonstrated is part of the debt our nation owes them, which can never be fully repaid.
We stand with all the families of the fallen and show our support and appreciation for what they have lost. Our prayers and hearts go out to them.
So today, and every day, we cherish the enormous cost of our hard-fought freedoms, we remember the lives and memories of the fallen who helped secure them, and pledge to continue keeping their legacies alive.”
