"As we gather together this weekend with friends and family, let us all take a moment to remember those who have given so much for our nation.

It is their answer to the call of service, and ultimately their unforgettable sacrifice that we salute. Without these brave men and women we would not enjoy the freedom we cherish so much today.

Let us also keep in our hearts and prayers, the brave service members both here at home and abroad, who at this very moment are steadfastly watching over our nation.

God bless our service members and may he continue to watch over the United States."
