Governor Schweitzer’s Statement on Veterans Day

Governor Schweitzer’s Statement on Veterans Day
 
We owe a great deal to those who have protected our nation and continue to defend our democracy, individual freedom, justice, equality, and opportunity. 
 
Today is a day to remember, a day to reflect on the challenges that continue to face our veterans and those still proudly serving their country and answering the challenges faced by our nation. All of us should commit ourselves to supporting our veterans, soldiers and their families in the communities across our state. By writing a letter, sending a package, checking on a neighbor or visiting a nursing home we can all make a difference and show our support for their service.
 
On behalf of all Montanans, I thank the veterans of this state and country for their service and sacrifice.
