Gov. Kelly Armstrong delivered a statement today in honor of Memorial Day, recognizing the sacrifices made by military personnel at the North Dakota Veterans Cemetery near Mandan.
"Because of these selfless men and women, we live in the greatest country on Earth. And we must never take for granted the freedoms we enjoy – or forget those who died to protect them," Armstrong stated. He emphasized that while Memorial Day is a time for remembrance, it also calls for a commitment to honor those who sacrificed their lives.
Armstrong urged citizens to live in ways that honor fallen soldiers' memories. "To be a worthy nation, we must be worthy of their service – to continue to support and care for those who have served, making sure that they and their families have the resources they need to live healthy, fulfilling lives," he said.
