This day holds a special place in my heart. Like many patriots, I love this country and the freedoms here that are found nowhere else. That’s why all I’ve ever wanted to do is serve for America, first through military service and later as a Congressman in the House of Representatives.
I learned firsthand that the freedom we’re celebrating today isn’t free. I came close to losing my life for this country that I love, and many brave men and women have indeed paid the ultimate sacrifice in the name of defending the United States of America. Let’s keep that in mind today as we honor and celebrate the founding of the most free nation on Earth.
May you enjoy this special holiday with friends and family today, and may America’s rights, liberties, opportunities, and freedoms endure for generations to come!
