Hoyer Attends the 42nd Annual Leonardtown Veterans Day Parade
LEONARDTOWN, MD – This morning, Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) attended the 42nd annual Leonardtown Veterans Day Parade. Following the parade, Congressman Hoyer made brief remarks at the Veterans Day Ceremony.
"On Veterans Day, I join in showing my deep appreciation and respect to those who currently serve or have served their country in our armed forces," said Congressman Hoyer. "For those who have come home from active service, whether in war or in peace, return knowing that service never ends. And so they continue to serve – as teachers, as nurses, as civic volunteers, as first responders, as involved parents and neighbors. To give back. To make sure the promise of the American dream can be within reach of everyone. And we continue to be inspired by their unending commitment to country and community."
"On this Veterans Day, as we look back on a generation of veterans who answered the call to fight on distant shores in defense of freedom, let us pay tribute to all who have worn the uniform and, in taking it off when duty's done, nonetheless chose to continue their service back home," continued Congressman Hoyer. "May God bless our veterans and our troops. And may God bless this great nation and see us through the challenges we face together."
