"Memorial Day is a day to show our gratitude to the men and women of our military, and remember those who sacrificed it all so we could enjoy freedom, liberty and life here at home. We salute and honor these brave men and women we've lost, and pray for their families and loved ones.
The best way to say thank you to our service men and women is by making sure that our military has the resources and care they need to keep us safe. The world needs American leadership, and we are not fit to lead if our military is not taken care of properly.
Defending the American people is the chief responsibility of our government and that's why House Republicans have been working to improve the VA and pass much needed legislation to fund our troops.
When American is a leader on the world stage, our homeland is safer and more secure – such security creates a confident America, so that all Americans can pursue their own dreams."
