Attorney General William P. Barr issued the following statement:

"On Veterans Day, we honor the brave Americans who, from the founding of our nation to the present, have sacrificed so much to answer the call to service. The American people are deeply fortunate that there have been people at every crossroad of history willing to stand up to safeguard our great nation. At the Department of Justice, we recognize that our critical work has only been possible because of the courageous Americans who have given so much while serving at home and abroad. We thank our veterans now and always for their contributions to safety, security, and peace."
