"I am humbled and honored to be speaking later today in Gallia and Jefferson Counties to pay tribute to those who gave all to preserve our freedom.

As we gather with our families, loved ones, and friends, let us take time to remember and reflect that the rights and freedoms we enjoy everyday have come at a great cost and sacrifice by our fallen heroes and their families; they are the reason we live in the greatest country the Earth has ever known. We are eternally grateful for their service, and their legacy will forever remain in our memories – and our hearts.

And, as we remember our veterans, let’s also remember, and pray for, our current men and women who are stationed today in Iraq, Afghanistan, and around the world in harm’s way on this Memorial Day."
