Honoring Our Nation’s Veterans
Today, our nation observes Veterans Day in honor of our military veterans.
The freedoms we enjoy as Americans are without precedent, but they come at a steep cost. We owe them to the service and sacrifice of everyone who has served in our armed forces throughout our history. The values we hold dear in this country will always face challenges from hostile forces, and it is the duty of those in uniform to protect us by pushing back and risking all. In turn, each of us shares the same debt of gratitude to them — a debt we can never repay, but simply acknowledge.
With that in mind, please join me in honoring all who have served, including American Airlines pilots now on active duty in conflict zones around the world. We are forever grateful.
