On Memorial Day, remember our veterans

This Memorial Day, I will be speaking at the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery to pay tribute to those brave Idahoans who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our country.

On this day — as with every Memorial Day — we honor Idaho’s heroes with a humble heart. We express our deepest gratitude and appreciation. And we reflect on what these courageous men and women gave their lives for — the freedom and security of the greatest country in the history of the world.

Let there be no mistake: America is the “Land of the Free” because we truly are the “Home of the Brave.”
