Congressman Peterson:
Veterans Day Statement
As our nation prepares to pay tribute to the brave men and women who have selflessly fought for liberty, justice, and freedom around the world, U.S. Representative John E. Peterson, R-Pleasantville, issued the following statement commemorating Veterans’ day:
“From the Armistice that ended World War I, to the mountains in Afghanistan, and every battle in between, today we stand together as a nation to honor the men, women and families who serve this great nation in uniform.
“While today marks a single day of recognition and thanks, like many Americans, there is not one day that goes by that I don’t pray for our military leaders, the troops on the ground and their families. It is truly humbling to reflect upon what our military has accomplished over the years and the sacrifice they endure in the name of Old Glory.
“To our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and all American Veterans, this country is eternally grateful for the job you perform on a daily basis, and we will never forget those who came before you and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice defending the United States of America and our values.”
