With Liberty Under Assault, Our Veterans Answered the Call

Today, we say thank you to America’s veterans. Between the deployments, the time away from loved ones, the moves, and the uncertainty, military service is a sacrifice.

These last several weeks have also showed us the true face of evil, as terrorists invaded a freedom-loving nation in Israel. This was a sobering reminder that without those willing to serve and defend liberty, the forces of oppression would have conquered freedom long ago.

When liberty is under assault, American forces have defended her. And today, we pay special gratitude to the men and women who have served our country in defense of freedom. To our veterans and the families that support them, thank you.
