I would like to thank all veterans and their families for their service and sacrifice to keep this great country free. We will celebrate 250 years of freedom this year, because of all the veterans.
If you know of a family that lost a son or daughter and didn’t make it back home, take the time to tell them how proud you are of the one they lost.
There are thousands and thousands of veterans who didn’t make it home.
It is the least we can do thank every veteran you seem no matter if they are walking tall or in a wheelchair.
Remember what they sacrificed so the rest of us can do all the things we enjoy today,
I was here for the 200-year celebration — now the 250-year, and I have plans to be here for the 275-year celebration.
This is the only country in the world that can say we enjoy our freedom.
But we have paid dearly to keep it.
Thanks again for your service and may God bless.
