Memorial Day message from Senate hopeful Cruz, 5-28
America is defined by our freedom, making it the shining city on the hill for
all mankind. But what would our freedom be without the will, courage and
determination to defend it? That our Constitution still holds firm, that our
flag still holds meaning, is a testament to the men and women of our Armed
Forces who stood up when our nation gave its call, and particularly those who
made the ultimate sacrifice. Every day we live in freedom is a day purchased by
their blood.
Texans have always been at the forefront, and many
Texans have given their lives for our country. Men like World War II sub
commander and Medal of Honor recipient Sam Dealey – for whom Dealey Plaza in
Dallas is named. Men like Dorrie Miller of Waco, who earned the Navy Cross for
his heroism at Pearl Harbor, only to die in action a year later. And ordinary
men and women, whose names may not adorn monuments, yet who served, fought and
sacrificed for our freedom.
This Memorial Day, we should pause and remember those
who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, and pray for those those who
are currently serving, as well as the families and friends who are standing
beside them.
Heidi and I join countless Americans in giving our
heartfelt thanks to those men and women, who, through their selfless action, are
preserving our liberty and our security. We love you, we appreciate you, and we
thank you.
Sincerely
Ted Cruz
Republican for Senate
