On behalf of ACT for
America staff and I , we honor you this Memorial Day
A note of thanks to our military
By Brigitte Gabriel



Words tremble on my lips and emotions swell in my
heart in my attempt to humbly thank you for all the things you do to
protect America and the world. Words cannot express my depth of gratitude
to your service, to your sacrifice, to all that you leave behind to go
forth into the world and protect America’s interests around the globe.

Let my grateful tears thank you for the nights you slept
freezing in a tent or sweating in the desert, for the lonely days you
spent missing your loved ones, for the hours you spent sick in pain and
without someone holding your hand, for the moments of sheer fright in the
heart of battle, for the wounds you have suffered fighting evil, for the
endless days in hospitals undergoing painful surgeries, for the precious
occasions you have missed back at home. For all of these sacrifices I
thank you on behalf of millions of Americans who are so grateful for you.
We truly appreciate these sacrifices.

A special thank-you is in order to your families, to the
parents who raised you and made you be the man or woman you are today. I
thank your wives, husbands, and your loved ones who stand by you and
support you with their love and dedication.

And for those who returned in eternal sleep, may your legacy
be honored for generations to come, may the tears shed over your coffins
fertilize the fields of patriotism in our nation to raise a new generation
built on strength and honor, able and willing to follow in your footsteps
when duty calls to defend America. May your blood not have been shed in
vain. May we prove worthy of your sacrifice. May we always honor your
parents so they will always know that they are the parents of an American
hero.

You are our brave ones, our heroes, and our national
treasures. You are the pride of our nation, our strength and our
foundation. Thanks to you, millions have been freed around the world.
Thanks to you, those who criticize our country, burn our precious flag,
and speak ill of you, are able to do so because their freedom is built
upon your blood and your sacrifice.

I salute you one and all. I bow before you in respect and
humility. May God bless you and bless America, land of the free and home
of the brave, and the dream that became my address.



Brigitte Gabriel
