We can’t lose sight of what Memorial Day means for our nation and families who continue to grieve the loss of a soldier, sailor, airman, Marine or Coast Guardsman.
For these Americans, Memorial Day may not be a day of celebration. It may be a deeply personal and somber day. Remember them in your prayers and recognize that we are free because of their sacrifices.
President Biden told me that my job as VA secretary is to “fight like hell” for veterans. He also said that there is no more sacred duty than to care for our nation’s Vets who have given us so much.
As our caring colleagues in the National Cemetery Administration maintain their solemn mission to watch over those no longer with us, we know many more Veterans came home with wounds both visible and invisible. My promise is that all of us in VA will selflessly serve those men and women who served and sacrificed so much for all of us.
Let us give thanks to the Lord for those who have sacrificed their lives for freedom and offer our prayers for their loved ones. #MemorialDay #Anglican pic.twitter.com/LAkibt8two
