Today, we pause to honor the brave men and women of our Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice in defending our freedom. Their unwavering courage, honor, and selflessness laid the foundation for the greatest nation on Earth. As Americans and Republicans, it is our solemn duty to ensure that their legacy endures. In Harris County and throughout Texas, we stand resolute for the values they fought for: liberty, justice, secure borders, a formidable military, and unapologetic American exceptionalism. We honor our fallen not only with words but also through action. We fight to elect leaders who will never take our freedoms for granted and who will always prioritize America First. To the families of the fallen, to our veterans, and to those still serving, we extend our deepest gratitude. Your sacrifices will never be forgotten. May God bless our troops, our veterans, and the United States of America.
