Honoring Our Veterans
Today we pause to honor all who have served in the United States Armed Forces.
Each branch carries a proud motto that reflects their spirit of service:
U.S. Coast Guard: Semper Paratus (Always Ready)
U.S. Army: This We’ll Defend
U.S. Marine Corps: Semper Fidelis (Always Faithful)
U.S. Navy: Non sibi sed patriae (Not for self, but for country)
U.S. Air Force: Per ardua ad astra (Through adversity to the stars)
U.S. Space Force: Semper Supra (Always Above)
U.S. National Guard: Semper Vigilans (Always Vigilant)
As a veteran of both the U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Army, I want to extend my personal gratitude to all who have served, and to the families who support them.
Thank you for your service.
