they would have lived. When they died, they gave up their chance to be husbands and fathers and grandfathers. They gave up their chance to be revered old men. They gave up everything for our country…for us. And all we can do is remember.”
Today all across Texas and our great nation we pause to honor the brave sacrifices of our military members as they continue to lead and serve at home and abroad. We also unite as Americans to pay tribute to those who gave their lives while serving our country. #MemorialDay
It is because they fearlessly defended our liberty that we are able to stand here today in our beloved nation that serves as a beacon of freedom to all. #MemorialDay #MemorialDay2019
Let us never forget the sacrifices of our brave men and women in uniform, and we pray that God will continue to bless them, their families, and the United States of America. #MemorialDay #MemorialDay2019
