" Americans live in freedom because of our veterans' courage, dedication to duty, and love of country. On Veterans Day, we honor these brave men and women who have served in our Armed Forces and defended our Nation. "

I wish to salute all my fellow veterans this day. I pray that God will keep you well-and I pray that God will protect those soldiers who are in harm's way..I pray that all of our soldiers return home-safe and sound-to their families and loved ones..Amen.
