Reichert Statement on Memorial Day

Statement

Congressman Dave Reichert (WA-08) today released the following statement honoring our veterans and their families on Memorial Day:

"This weekend gives us all a special time to remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our liberty. I'm grateful for and honored by the opportunity these past few days to visit with our men and women in uniform who are so bravely serving the cause of freedom. I also want to make special note of the individuals who are serving from Washington state -- you make us all very proud.

"As some of us spend this weekend with our families and loved ones, let us not forget what this time is truly about: paying special tribute to our veterans and their families who have sacrificed so much to protect and preserve our safety and security. It's my sincere hope that every American remembers, not just this weekend but every single day, that we are given the precious gift of freedom because of the dedication and courage of those who serve and have served. On this Memorial Day, let us show our true gratitude to members of our Armed Forces and their families."

Over the Memorial Day weekend, Reichert traveled to visit with troops serving in the Middle East. He will return to Washington state midweek.
