“This weekend we reflect on our nation’s founding principles, and our never ceasing mission to achieve a more perfect Union. We know that our country, in all of its 246 years, has never and will never stop being a land of freedom and justice for all.
“Despite the difficulties we may face, we know that the men and women tasked with defending our nation’s freedom and fighting for democracy are faced with unending dangers. We remain forever grateful to them and their families for their service and sacrifice.
