“Each year on Memorial Day, we pause to honor the courage of the brave men and women of our armed forces, who fought and died to protect our freedoms. We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude for their bravery, sacrifice and selflessness. Today, we pay tribute to the fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters who secured our futures by sacrificing their own. Without their efforts, our country would not serve as the beacon of hope and example for democratic principles to the rest of the world.
As we reflect this Memorial Day, be sure to take a moment to give thanks for our fallen patriots and the families who shared them with us.” - Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson
