On this Memorial Day, let us take time out of our daily routines to pause, come together, and remember those who have laid down their lives in protection of freedom. At 3pm on Monday, May 30, I ask for you to pause for a Moment of Silence to honor those who have died defending our country. We must do this knowing that the debt we owe our Nation's men and women in uniform, our veterans and their families can never be fully repaid.
President Abraham Lincoln once said:
"It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

The courage of our military and our veterans is an inspiration to us all, and we thank them all for their service and sacrifice to protect our freedoms. The thoughts and prayers of our entire Nation are with the men and women serving today, those who have bravely served, and the families of those whose ultimate sacrifice will never be forgotten.
