Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Mike Enzi and his wife Diana Enzi paid tribute to the more than 56,000 veterans and their families in Wyoming on Veterans Day today.
“This day is a special opportunity to recognize our military service men and women for their courage in protecting our country and to thank them for giving us the freedoms we enjoy,” Enzi said. “We should thank our veterans every day and also thank God for our veterans.”
In Washington, D.C., Senator Enzi and Diana have attended several Wyoming Honor Flight activities throughout the year where World War II veterans from across the state visit the nation’s capital to see the World War II Memorial. Veterans visit the memorial and participate in a wreath-laying ceremony at Wyoming’s pillar.
“Veterans Day is also a time to appreciate our sons, daughters, neighbors and friends who continue to serve in Iraq, Afghanistan and around the world. I commend their service to ensure our security and wish them home safely,” Diana said.
“I also want to thank the Vietnam veterans for providing honor guards and motorcycle escorts for homecomings and remembrances. They help ensure that every soldier and veteran gets the kind of honor and solemnity that they were denied. It shows their continued dedication and patriotism,” Enzi said.
“Our country is recognized for its freedom and this is due to the men and women who serve in our outstanding military. They are patriotic, compassionate and courageous and set an example for us all to follow.”
