They have earned our undying gratitude. America will never forget their sacrifices.” These words, spoken by President Harry Truman just days before the surrender of Nazi Germany, truly embody the sentiment of Veterans Day – a day to honor those who have sworn to defend this nation and reflect upon the service and sacrifice of all our veterans, past and present. While our nation’s debt to our veterans can never fully be repaid, Veterans Day is a solemn moment to recognize our continued appreciation to those who have served in defense of freedom, liberty and justice. Since arriving to Congress, my loyalty to America’s military veterans, including the more than 77,000 who call Alaska home, has never wavered. As a nation, we must never forget the gift of freedom these remarkable men and women in uniform have given. As a nation, we must also never forget the promises and commitments we have made to our veterans. On the 11th day of the 11th month, in ceremonies and celebrations across the country, I encourage all Americans to join me in thanking our veterans. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
