In honor of our veterans.

“Better than honor and glory, and History’s iron pen, Was the thought of duty done and the love of his fellow-men. “ —Richard Watson Gilder

Duties performed in service of our country, whether small or great, should never go without thanks. And though they are deserving of our thanks each day, it is especially appropriate that we give thanks to our veterans on this day that we annually set aside to honor their commitment to our country, and it's citizens. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, National Guard, and reserves, all have given a piece of themselves for the better good of our Nation. May God bless those who have served, those who are serving, and those who have been lost in service. Without them we would not be who we are today.

"The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war." - Douglas MacArthur

Lord bless,

Rep. Sage G. Dixon
