Dear Friend,
Every year, our country comes together
on Memorial Day to remember the brave men and women of our armed services who
lost their lives defending our country. This weekend, I ask you to join me in
honoring and remembering these extraordinary individuals who have made the
ultimate sacrifice for our country. They remind us that freedom is not free and
that we owe our country’s safety and the liberties we enjoy today to their
courage.
This Memorial Day we not only honor the
sacrifices that have been made, but we are also reminded of the importance of
our commitment to our fallen service members. Presidents Washington and Lincoln
stated, “taking care of our service members who fought to defend our country
should rank among the highest of national priorities.”
As your representative in Congress and a
Member of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, I’m committed to making sure we
preserve the rights, protections and benefits that America's brave and heroic
veterans deserve.
Our service men and women fight
relentlessly to defend our country. They risk their lives every day to protect
our freedoms, and we have an obligation to always honor, remember and respect
the sacrifices they have made. We continue to pray for their safe return and
pledge to keep our promise to them, and to all veterans, when they return.
This Memorial Day weekend, I encourage
all Americans across the nation to find a way to remember our fallen service
members and join me in honoring the extraordinary sacrifice they have made for
our great country.
Sincerely,
Jeff Denham
