FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (NC-05) today released the following statement in observation of Veterans Day a long standing holiday with roots back to 1919, which is being observed on Saturday, November 11: “We are the greatest nation because of our veterans. Their dedication, sacrifice and willingness to answer the call of duty has preserved and spread freedom throughout the globe. While we commemorate those veterans who still share their wisdom and experience with us, we must never forget those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for America and her just causes. “Our veterans have fought as liberators, not just to protect America and her security, but to assist strangers in the fight against the bonds of tyranny, evil and oppression. As we observe Veterans Day, Americans owe their deepest gratitude and appreciation to all of those who have put on the uniform, faced peril and answered the call to defend liberty. “Our veterans are true American heroes and they have undoubtedly made America ‘the land of the free and the home of the brave.’” ### |
