 Today we come together to recognize all our distinguished veterans whose service has allowed our nation to prosper and has allowed us all to live in freedom. Our veterans disregard personal well-being and act with incredible honor to preserve for us, the citizens of this great nation, a gift of unapproachable magnitude, our freedom. We owe an inexpressible debt to our distinguished veterans and today in special recognition of their courageous efforts, we honor these brave women and men and encourage all citizens to celebrate and thank these American heroes of the past and present. On behalf of all Pennsylvanians, I'd like to extend my deepest gratitude to all veterans for their selfless service to this country. Thank you.
