With Gratitude
We Salute Them
They took an oath to serve this country, to protect our freedom and fight for the greater good.
In times of conflict, they risked everything. In times of peace, they worked tirelessly to preserve it.
Though we may know them better as Grandfather, neighbor, Mother, or Son, we must never forget their loyal sacrifice.
Today we pause and honor the men and women in uniform who serve this country.
This Vietnam Veterans Recognition Day we hold them in our hearts and offer our deepest gratitude.
We give thanks to those who have defended our freedoms. And we thank the families who have trusted us to serve them.
