Thanks and honor goes out to all our veterans and those serving in over 80 countries and two major wars today. Your efforts and sacrifice allows the freedoms we take for granted, has held the line for us in protecting these freedoms, and remains our frontline of defense.

I hope that this day reminds us here at home to do our part in defending our nation — to not lose our discipline or forget the principles of our founding fathers that make this nation great — principles worthy of the sacrifice of our veterans. Let us remember our history of holding tyranny, fascism and communism at bay and off our shores — and let us not lose this freedom and justice through weakness of mind, disrespect for basic Godly principles, or shortsighted selfishness.

If our Marines and Soldiers can battle, often room to room taking high risk of meeting treachery just to be sure they don’t make a mistake, leaders in Washington can read all pages of a bill for possible treachery before signing so they don’t make a mistake and lose the freedoms our service men and women fight for!

Let’s hold to what we know is in the best interest of heartland and mainstreet America, for that flag-lined mainstreet understands the sacrifice and honors our Veterans. We are your families and we love you.

God Bless
