Congressman Johnson: The debt we owe veterans is 'immeasurable'

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Hank Johnson, GA-04, issued the following statement in recognition of Veterans Day, which will be celebrated tomorrow:

We must all be committed to keeping our promises to the nation’s 3 million troops and reservists, their families, and 23 million veterans, including 51,000 here in the Fourth District. Let’s all come together to honor our veterans – the debt we owe them is immeasurable.

As we take pause this Veterans Day, it’s important for Americans to not only recognize the military personnel  who have served our country around the world in the name of freedom and democracy, but to reach out to veterans and active military  of all the branches and volunteer a little of our time to make their lives better. 

One of the most sacred duties of my office is providing the best veterans’ services possible. But all citizens can participate by volunteering at your local Veterans Hospital or getting involved with local veterans’ organizations.
 
Be sure to pause on this Veterans Day to remember those who have given “the last full measure of devotion” to protect our freedoms.
