Today is my birthday.

It is also Memorial Day.

Here is my birthday wish: Please take a moment today - while you’re surrounded by loved ones, celebrating in perfect security - to remember the millions of American men & women never got to see their next birthday sacrificing for us.

They gave their lives so we could live in the greatest country in history.

We became the greatest country in the world because of the sacrifices of men & women far braver & better than the rest of us.

Their sacrifices created this incredible nation we are privileged to call home
