Brabenec Commemorates Memorial Day

A Statement from Assemblyman Karl Brabenec (R,TCN-Deerpark)

“This Monday is dedicated to remembering the fallen service members who paid the ultimate sacrifice to preserve our liberty and way of life.

“The United States is the strongest military, social and economic power the world has ever known. But these realities could not have been possible without the courage and devotion to American exceptionalism of our military members throughout history.

“Throughout the formative years of our nation and beyond, ordinary citizens have consistently answered the call of duty valiantly and heroically. Many not even old enough to legally enlist took up arms to defend democracy and freedom on foreign lands, seas and in the air in arenas across the globe. Memorial Day is dedicated to honoring their legacy and thanking them for their service.

“As you are enjoying a bar-b-que with family and friends, please take a moment to reflect on those who have fought to protect our nation, and thank a veteran or service member in your life. Happy Memorial Day!”
