John,

The America we love, cherish, and are blessed to live in comes at a cost that many brave souls have paid and their families have personally endured.  We take this time of the year to wish a blessed Memorial Day for all of these valourous members of our Armed Services who fought and sacrificed their lives in defense of our precious freedoms.

America will always be a beacon of light, hope, and freedom so long as we have patriots who believe in protecting God-given rights and liberties that make us the most magnificent nation in the history of mankind.  

To all the service men and women standing in protection of America, to your families back home, and to those whom we have lost in the preservation of our beloved country, Team Van Duyne and I wish you and your family peace and enormous gratitude on this day.

God Bless America, 

Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne
