U.S. Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-12) released the following statement in honor of Memorial Day, which will be observed on Monday, May 28.

“On Memorial Day, we come together in our communities to honor the legacy of the American heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice defending our country and the democratic values we hold dear. Since America’s founding, over 1.3 million American men and women have answered the patriotic call to service and laid down their lives for the freedom of families at home and afar. Their courage, their character, and the enduring power of their example truly embody the best of America.

“As we pay tribute to these fallen heroes this weekend, let us pledge to serve our veterans and their families as well as they have served us. May we always remember that we are the land of the free because of the brave- in war and in peace, our soldiers deserve our endless thanks and support.”
