BLOOMINGDALE, IL - Congressman Peter J. Roskam (R-IL) today released the following statement as the nation honors our military veterans by observing Memorial Day:
“This Memorial Day we not only look back on those who have served and sacrificed in past battles, we also honor the men and women who are still in Iraq and Afghanistan working to restore peace and foster democracy.
“Our nation is free today because of the selfless sacrifices that thousands of Americans have made in the line of duty. These men and women are shining examples of the will, determination and spirit of the American people.
“We must reaffirm our commitment to supporting our veterans, not with just praise, but with policies that provide the best care and resources available to them when they return home.”
