WASHINGTON – Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., today released the following statement to commemorate Veterans Day:

“On Veterans Day we rightly single out the members of our military past and present to honor them with the respect and gratitude they deserve. The veterans that we honor today are a reflection of American greatness. Liberty is bought and paid for by the incomprehensible generosity of these patriots.

“In November we also honor the commitment and sacrifices of our military families by celebrating Military Family Month. Through deployments, separations and moves across the country and overseas, these families inspire us as they endure the extended absence of their loved ones with grace, strength and devotion. 

“America is the land of the free because we are the home of the brave. I thank our veterans for seeing the value of freedom and rising to America’s defense with unfailing strength. I thank our military families for standing with our service members, supporting that great bravery and sharing in the sacrifice.”
