May 30, 2016 – Rep. Louie Gohmert (TX-01) released the following statement on a day we remember those who have fought courageously and paid the ultimate price for our freedom:
“Today we remember and honor the lives of those who have bravely sacrificed their all for the sake of our freedom. The men and women in the United States Armed Forces are truly courageous patriots. There is no doubt that we have the freedom and the liberties we do in this country because of the sacrifice and the willingness of those who’ve gone before us.”
“Today is a day for the nation to reflect on the priceless lives and limbs sacrificed on the altar of freedom - not just for ourselves, but for the greater good of all. When faced with perilous circumstances and an opportunity to retreat, these patriots stood firm and tall under the banner of the red, white and blue.”
“We owe a debt of gratitude to those currently serving in the military, veterans and those who protected us with their lives. May we kneel and thank God for those who came willing to serve and thank God for their sacrifice.”
