"On this Veterans Day, we honor and pay tribute to the extraordinarily brave men and women—and their families—who have made immense sacrifices to ensure that liberty and freedom endure.

                "It is because of these heroes that America continues to be the land of the free and the home of the brave.

                "Words are inadequate to convey our deep and profound appreciation to America’s veterans, and we ask that God continue to bless, protect, strengthen—and, when needed, heal—each and every veteran."
