WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Rep. Rosa L. DeLauro, D-3, released the following statement today commemorating Veterans Day:
“When their nation asked them to, our veterans put on the uniform, they went overseas, they fought to keep us safe, and they gave the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Since the founding of our republic, American soldiers have been the guardians of our freedom. We can never take them for granted – the sacrifices they and their families have made, and the peace they have secured.
“Veterans are heroes to us all, and we honor your commitment, your service and your sacrifice. Our thoughts and prayers go out to them and their families on this day of remembrance,” she said.
DeLauro has been holding an “Honoring the Greatest Generation” appreciation series to honor World War II veterans in Connecticut’s 3rd Congressional District. At those events she presents each of the World War II veterans there with a challenge coin as a sign of her appreciation and shares photographs of her trip to Normandy on the official Congressional delegation for the 70th anniversary of the D-Day invasion.
This is a release from DeLauro's office.
