Cory Gardner
Sixty years ago, American
armed forces led the world
in triumph over ruthless
dictatorship. As the Pacific
power of Japan surrendered
in Tokyo Bay aboard the
U.S.S. Missouri, our nation
stained finger, an understat-
ed expression of mankind's
inalienable right.
The struggle against ter-
rorism reminds us that we
must never forget the two
words our nation continues
to fight for - freedom and
liberty. As General Omar
celebrated victory over tyr- Bradley said, no two words
anny. Today, the fight for
liberty continues around the
globe. America's sons and
daughters, its fathers and
mothers, are again embroiled
in a battle for the future of
dembCracy,
This Veteran's Day, we pay
homage to those who sacri-
ficed their lives for genera-
tions of freedom and we give
thanks to those who - at this
very hour - continue to pay
the ultimate price as defend-
ers of liberty. To our veterans,
our servicemen and women,
much is owed. To them, we
offer our humble thanks and
ask for God's blessing upon
them.
In the weeks following Sep-
tember 11, 2001, American
flags waved on every street
corner, over every bridge and
outside every home. Our
thoughts and prayers reflected
the sorrow of a nation, relent-
less in the pursuit of justice,
resolute in its cause. As we
pause to thank our nation's
greatest heroes, may the pa-
triotism of our nation again
awake.
The United States must
never forget the high price
of freedom - witnessed first
at the birth of our Nation
and later as the Union was
saved. Today we see the
price of liberty as freedom-
fearing terrorists strike
out against the builders of
democracy. But the desire
for liberty and freedom will
prevail, as witnessed in
Iraq by a Voter's purple ink
have given more to those
blessed by them and damned
more those who have taken
them away. Just as our vet-
erans led us to victory in
World War II, our men and
women in xhe armed forces
will again pave the path to
freedom.
The sacrifice of our men
and women in uniform, past
and present, has been-great.
I cannot fully express my
heartfelt admiration and
respect for those willing
to serve our Nation. To
these men and women, we
owe our solemn oath, our
pledge to not waste the
blessings their sacrifice has
bestowed.
Today, I hope you will
join me in paying tribute to
our veterans - the greatest
patriots among us. Give
them thanks. Let them know
ours is a nation that will
not forget. And for many,
welcome them home for tke
first time.
To all our men and women
in uniform - past and pres-
ent - we offer the thanks of a
grateful nation.
