Today, veterans who have served in the armed forces of the United States and the Commonwealth of Nations are being remembered and honored for service and sacrifice. For any man or woman who wore a uniform of service, may you always feel the gratitude of your fellow citizens. Your sacrifice means a lot. Thank you for giving your all.
Today, America remembers those who sacrificed everything to defend life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. May those who never made it home from war be honored, every day, freedom ringing for everyone. On this day, let us be mindful of those who did come home and face the daily struggle with the trauma and constant violence of war.
Today, we remember the lives lost and those who have served. Veterans Day in the United States honors those who have served their country in the military. In the Commonwealth of Nations of Britain, including Canada, Remembrance Day honors those whose lives have been lost in defending their nation. In both observances, it’s the recognition of the sacrifice of oneself for freedom and for the ones they love.
Eighty years ago thousands of men from all walks of life and from several allied countries stormed the beach at Normandy, France for the largest amphibian operation in history. Thousands died that day and for those who are still living the memory of that day of horror and pain lives on. To all those men there that day, thank you for defending things like freedom, and democracy. You challenged evil and won. Well done troops.
Keeping America safe is the duty of the military and the intelligence community. Anytime that is compromised we are all less safe. The person holding a high office should be totally responsible for that duty. There is a deep trust in being sure secrets stay secret and if the leader of a nation cannot do that then they are unfit and unqualified for that role. There is no excuse for what we have heard today. Zero. There must be accountability and justice for the accused. Donald Trump is a woefully incompetent, dangerously ignorant of the law, and very bad man. His actions cannot go unpunished if found guilty.
In America and the Commonwealth of Nations veterans are being thanked for their service. I salute those men and women who put on their nations uniform to serve and sometimes sacrifice. Your devotion to your country men and women are duly noted and appreciated. Thank you for everything.
