VermontBiz Governor Phil Scott today issued the following statement:
“Today, I share my deep gratitude for all members of our military, and especially for those who lost their lives in service to their country.
“My thoughts are with all the families who are grieving those losses. Please know, their sacrifice – and your sacrifice – is not forgotten and I do not take it for granted.
“Reflecting on this sacrifice and loss is what Memorial Day is about. But our gratitude – and our obligation to live up to the values and ideals these soldiers fought and died for – needs to be something we pay attention to every day.
“There is no real way to repay those we’ve lost for all they gave, but at the very least, we can offer our thanks and our respect.”
