Friend,
This Military Appreciation Month, I’ve been spending time reflecting on my eternal gratitude toward all who have honorably served in our nation’s armed forces. Because of these brave men and women, we can go to sleep every night knowing that our families will be safe.
This month, we recognize everyone who has served in the U.S. Armed Forces. We appreciate and admire their sacrifices and their service to this nation.
From the American Revolution to World War II to the present day, American soldiers, guardians, sailors, airmen, marines, and the members of our Coast Guard always answer the call to bravely defend the rights and privileges we are afforded as Americans. Without them, the free country we know today would not exist.
Growing up in Enterprise, Alabama, right outside the gates of Fort Rucker, I witnessed firsthand the sacrifices made not only by our military men and women, but also by the members of their families. Sitting next to classmates whose parents were serving overseas, some of whom never made it back home, made the true gravity of their service all the more real to me.
Our service members deserve nothing less than the best we can give them. As Alabama’s Senator, I’m doing everything I can to not only ensure the U.S. can maintain the strongest, most well-equipped, resourced, and trained military on Earth, but also to ensure that the men and women who serve are treated like the heroes they are when they return home.
This month, and every month, I encourage everyone to reflect on the sacrifice of our military service members; those who put their lives on the line every day to ensure that we can continue to live in peace. We may not know them all, but we owe them all.
To the brave men & women fighting to keep our country safe, and their families: from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
