Rep. Louie Gohmert (TX-01) released the following statement today in honor of Veterans Day:
“Today we commemorate those who served honorably in the United States Military. These brave men and women risked their lives to defend our liberties and preserve this great nation. It takes a real hero to answer the call to defend one’s country, and a true patriot to be willing to not only face but also fight an enemy that aims to destroy our way of life and the values we hold most dear.”
“Without the hard work and sacrifices of our men and women in uniform to protect our nation’s principles, liberties and homeland, this nation would not be what it is today.”
“Let us also remember today those who made the ultimate sacrifice with their lives. We are eternally grateful for their service and devotion to this country.”
“May God continue to bless our veterans and their families, and may their lives, memories and acts of valor live on in our hearts and truly drive our passion forward to preserve these United States.”
Congressman Gohmert is the Chairman of the Natural Resources Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations and the Vice Chair of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security. Prior to being elected to serve in Congress, he was elected to three terms as District Judge in Smith County, Texas and was appointed by then Texas Governor Rick Perry to complete a term as Chief Justice of the 12th Court of Appeals.
