Those who live in freedom should always be grateful for those who fought to preserve it. On this Veterans Day, and every day, American citizens should show their respect and gratitude to our Veterans for their service, dedication and sacrifice. They are true American heroes.

America is the land of the free because of the brave. Thank you to all of our Veterans.
