Mercer Island, WA, Nov 11 - Congressman Dave Reichert (WA-08) today released the following statement in observance of Veterans Day:

“Today, we remember. Today, we reflect and express our gratitude to America’s finest men and women; those who have chosen to serve in defense of our freedom and the liberty of so many people around the world,” Reichert said. “Without the unwavering dedication and sacrifice of the men and women who serve today, their families, and the brave generations that came before them, the United States and the freedoms we hold dear would not be possible.

“As a Member of Congress, I am humbled by the unique opportunity I have to take an active role in supporting our troops by ensuring they have the resources they need and helping them transition to civilian careers or start small businesses of their own. Today, I encourage Americans to mark this occasion by thanking current and former military servicemen and women for maintaining our safety and security.  Please join me in reminding veterans throughout our community and across our great country of our gratitude for the essential role they play in protecting and preserving the American Dream.”
