Veterans Day Message from Bobby Jindal

Dear Friends –

All of us owe a debt of gratitude to those who have fought to defend our nation and our liberties. Although we shouldn’t have to wait for a specific holiday to salute those who have fought to protect our freedoms, as we approach Veterans Day this Friday, it is all the more appropriate to thank a friend or family member who served our state and our nation in the Armed Forces.

We know that our freedoms are not free, and from the Revolutionary War to today, brave young men and women have risked life and limb in defense of liberty. Let us remember the fallen heroes that made the ultimate sacrifice, thank those who have returned home, and pray for the safe return of servicemen and servicewoman protecting us today.

Let us also never forget the sacrifices made by the families of our veterans and those actively serving. I’ve had the honor to attend homecomings when our men and women are reunited with their friends and family, and I’m always amazed by what these families endure while their loved one is away.

Every day, but especially this Friday, our veterans deserve our deepest thanks and upmost respect for their service. While most people run from danger, our men and women in uniform have run towards danger to keep our nation safe. Their stories of bravery are incredible, inspiring, emotional and powerful – a history in and of themselves that we and future generations must hold on to, learn from, and cherish.

The living history for our country is told through our veterans, and they are all around us in our businesses, churches, parks and homes. Find those who have served, shake their hands, and offer them your heartfelt appreciation for their courage and sacrifice. Their commitment, in times of war and peace alike, to put their lives on hold and serve our nation deserves our thanks today, on Veterans Day, and every other day.

Find a hero, thank a hero. That’s what Veterans Day is all about.

Sincerely,

Governor Bobby Jindal

( Please join all of here at the Penguin in remembering all of our troops past and present this Veterans Day. If you see one on the street, take a minute and thank him or her for their service. They are the reason that we are still free. And from me to all of you out there, Thank you for your service. Thank you for defending freedom where ever you serve. And to the families of those who have lost loved ones in service to our country, our prayers are with you this holiday season and always. God bless you all — Pubulis CW4 USA (ret) )
