John,

Today is a sobering reminder of the sacrifice that America’s fallen soldiers made so the rest of us could live in the greatest Nation in the world.

Let’s remember those who gave their lives for our freedom, recognize we are the land of the free BECAUSE of the brave, and pay our respects to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

Freedom isn’t free - I hope we all keep that in mind this Memorial Day.

Thank you for joining me in remembering those who paved the way for the rights and freedom we enjoy today. Let’s keep them and their families in our thoughts and prayers - today and everyday.

With the deepest of respect,

Lee Zeldin
