Rokita Statement on Memorial Day

Statement

Rep. Todd Rokita issued the following statement to commemorate Memorial Day.

"As we spend time with our families and friends marking the start of summer, with cookouts, the Indy 500, and the year's first dip in the pool, it is important that we take time to recognize what Memorial Day really means. Today is set aside to honor the more than one million Americans who, as Abraham Lincoln said, "gave the last full measure of devotion' in service to our great nation. We must never forget the human toll that comes with committing our servicemen and women to combat, and must do all that we can to avoid it. From the first militiamen that fell at Lexington and Concord, to the war fighters who sacrificed their lives in the War on Terror, we must always remember the brave patriots who gave their all to secure our country, so that we may hand down the blessings of liberty to future generations."
