“I’d like to take this time to wish you and your loved ones a very peaceful and joyous Memorial Day.

I also ask that you keep members of our armed forces and veterans in your thoughts for their service to our nation.

On this Memorial Day, and every day, let it be our task, every single one of us, to honor the strength, the resolve, and the love these brave Americans felt for each other and for our country.

Let us never forget to always remember and to be worthy of the sacrifice they make in our name.”
