I am so grateful for all the men and women who serve our country, as well as those who have served over the past two centuries. I am particularly thankful and appreciative of those who have laid down their lives for our freedom. Whoever said “freedom isn’t free” was right. Brave men and women have been willing to protect our great nation so that the rest of us can live free.

Although I know words can never repay for the sacrifices they have made, I offer to them my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation.

God Bless America!
