 "Memorial Day is a time when we can pause and reflect on the sacrifices of the hundreds of thousands of men and women who have fallen in service to our nation. They have upheld our values of liberty, justice and self-determination. Today I proudly join my fellow Americans in honoring and remembering these brave individuals who have given their lives for the sake of freedom and liberty.

"We must also remember the families of our Armed Forces, who know firsthand the sacrifices that are made when their loved ones serve this great nation. As Americans, we are called to do our part to uphold the ideals for which these individuals have given so much.

"Our great veterans, whose service reminds us every day that we are able to live in the greatest nation in the world, we join with them as we remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

"To those who have fallen, to those who serve, and to those who have served - and to your families - thank you."
