We also keep their families, who have waited and remain waiting for their loved ones in the most difficult and uncertain of times, in our thoughts. While we can never repay the sacrifices of the men and women of our Armed Forces for protecting us both at home and abroad, we thank them today for their service and renew our resolve to account for our United States servicemembers still missing from past wars and conflicts."
