Menendez Honors American Servicemen and Women on Memorial Day

Statement

On Memorial Day, US Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) released the following statement in honor of American servicemen and women:

"Today we celebrate another Memorial Day that -- once again -- finds our military men and women in harm's way bravely serving our country in Iraq, Afghanistan, and around the world. We pray for them, for their safety, and for their families. We also remember all those who have served -- past and present -- thousands of courageous men and women who have put their lives on the line, some who have made the ultimate sacrifice."

"The men and women who have worn the uniform have honored us with their service more than we could ever honor them. A grateful America should honor them not only with remembrance activities on this day, but with gratitude in our words and deeds every day of the year. In Congress, we will continue working to ensure they have access to the services and resources they deserve through legislative initiatives to meet their needs. From fighting for improved veterans health care to championing efforts to ensure women in combat operations receive a fair treatment upon their return, these are some of the efforts I have personally fought for as U.S. Senator. It is the very least we can do as a nation for our veterans, active military, and their families."
