It always sounds a little funny to say "Happy" Memorial Day, because this day is obviously not one we're glad to celebrate. We'd rather Arlington National Cemetery was empty, and we'd rather everyone came home. We'd rather no one had to fight.
But as that is not the case, we have so many men and women who deserve our unwavering gratitude, and particularly living in the nation's capital, it's made apparent to me every day how much rests on our soldiers' devotion to defending our country and protecting her ability to be a positive influence on the rest of the world.
Today, I want to say a special thank you to my grandfather, who piloted a B-24 Bomber in World War II. His stories of flying over Europe are always fascinating, and it's clear that we are very blessed that he made it back.
So, thank you to all our veterans and active military men and women today! May we never take your sacrifice for granted.
