As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.
This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.
How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!
Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die.
A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.
On this Veterans Day, let us remember the service of our veterans, and let us renew our national promise to fulfill our sacred obligations to our veterans and their families who have sacrificed so much so that we can live free.
In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.
My heroes are those who risk their lives every day to protect our world and make it a better place - police, firefighters and members of our armed forces.
The willingness of America's veterans to sacrifice for our country has earned them our lasting gratitude.
Honor to the soldier and sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country's cause. Honor, also, to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field and serves, as he best can, the same cause.
Valor is stability, not of legs and arms, but of courage and the soul.
But the freedom that they fought for, and the country grand they wrought for, Is their monument to-day, and for aye.
Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look upon them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death.
Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.
Our veterans accepted the responsibility to defend America and uphold our values when duty called.
Better than honor and glory, and History's iron pen, Was the thought of duty done and the love of his fellow-men.
Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.
The veterans of our military services have put their lives on the line to protect the freedoms that we enjoy. They have dedicated their lives to their country and deserve to be recognized for their commitment.
The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave.
America's Veterans have served their country with the belief that democracy and freedom are ideals to be upheld around the world.
