We pause today, to pray,
to remember their sacrifice;
We pause today to thank
our nation’s veterans,
those who answered the call
of our country to military service.
We thank them for their
service,
for their love, for their
sacrifice,
for their choice to stand
in the breach for freedom.
Without them and their
service,
we would not be free today.
We also thank their loved
ones
the families of these veterans,
and especially the families
of those
servicemen and women who
paid the ultimate price, who
died,
to secure and sustain our
freedoms.
We cannot overstate
our gratitude for our
veterans,
for their choice to serve
and for those who are
serving still
in the dark places,
dangerous places,
all around our world.

We pause today
“We pause today to thank our nation’s veterans, those who
answered the call of our country to serve. We thank them for their service, for
their sacrifice, for their choice to stand in the breach for freedom. Without
them and their service, we would not be free today. We also thank the families
of veterans, and especially the families of those servicemen and women who paid
the ultimate price to secure and sustain our freedoms. We cannot overstate our
gratitude for our veterans, and those who are serving still in the dark places,
the dangerous place all around our world.”
