WASHINGTON, D.C. – In a Veterans Day tribute, U.S. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.) today encouraged Mississippians to engage with veterans and their families as a means of honoring their service to the nation.
“On Veterans Day we take time to recognize that we all benefit from the sacrifices of our veterans. The freedoms and liberties we enjoy every day are because of their courage and bravery. They deserve our admiration and gratitude, not just on Veterans Day, but every day.
“I’m proud of the communities across Mississippi that honor our veterans through ceremonies and special programs. As we focus on these deserving men and women, I would also encourage everyone to engage veterans and their families. Go the extra mile to hear their stories or lend a helping hand.
“To every veteran in Mississippi, thank you for your service. As your Senator, I will continue to do all I can both in Washington and Mississippi to ensure that the promises we’ve given to veterans and their families are honored.”
