This Tuesday our nation salutes the brave men and women who have worn the uniform of the United States. How grateful we should be for their service. Our veterans who pursued the call of duty at great personal cost, are the noblest of American citizens. Shielding us from danger, preserving the peace, defending our values, they have been the face of hope in dark places and a force for good in the world. How proud we are to say, “Thanks for your service!”
