If you are a Servicemember and you’re reading this right now, from the deepest parts of my heart,
THANK YOU🖤🫶🏼

Here are a few notable quotes about Armed Forces Day throughout history:

“Our Servicemen and women are serving throughout the world as guardians of peace–many of them away from their homes, their friends and their families. They are visible evidence of our determination to meet any threat to the peace with measured strength and high resolve. They are also evidence of a harsh but inescapable truth–that the survival of freedom requires great cost and commitment, and great personal sacrifice.”
– President John F. Kennedy, 1963

“The men and women in our armed services are our final protection against those who wish us ill. The soldier, the sailor, the airman, and the marine in the United States and around the world are the ultimate guardians of our freedom to say what we think, go where we will, choose who we want for our leaders, and pray as we wish.”
— President Ronald Reagan, 1982 Armed Forces Day radio address

“In difficult times, America has called on members of our Armed Forces to protect the democratic ideals on which our country was founded, and they have never let our country down. As we confront the challenges of this new era, we will continue to rely on our military’s extraordinary skill, sense of honor, devotion to duty, and courageous commitment to service.”
— President George W. Bush 2002, proclamation of Armed Forces Day

This Armed Forces Day, thank a Servicemember for their sacrifices, for ensuring the protection of you and your family, at the expense of their own.

Thank you for holding the line.

God Bless America and God Bless & Protect the members of our Armed Forces!🇺🇸
