Remembering WW II Vets by Mike Pence
We pause to remember the 2,403 American heroes who selflessly gave their lives at Pearl Harbor 75 years ago, on a date that will forever live in infamy.
We also honor the 1,178 Americans who were wounded, and the countless others who instinctively did their duty, rushing to their posts in the midst of the chaos. Their shared sacrifice reminds us of the great costs paid by those who came before us to secure the liberties we enjoy, and inspires us to rise to meet the new challenges that stand before us today.

America’s enemies have changed over the past 75 years. But the fact
remains, as President Reagan said when first proclaiming National Pearl
Harbor Remembrance Day, 'there can be no substitute for victory' in the
pursuit of peace.
Today we are the bearers of the torch of freedom these brave Americans passed on to us.
In honor of their faithfulness, and for the sake of generations to come, we will never allow that flame to be extinguished.

The
BIBLE admonishes us to "give honor to whom honor is due." Mike Pence
followed that admonition...his visit was to honor the veterans, not to
receive honor for himself.
Thank you, Vice-president Pence, for your outstanding example of citizenship, for your honoring of the veterans who gave so much to maintain our freedom.
