Honoring Our Veterans - Freedom Does Not Come Free Today, the Republican Party of New Mexico would like to recognize all who have served for our county as we celebrate Veterans Day. Chairman John Billingsley issued the following statement to honor our brave veterans: “America is the greatest country in the world. Why? – Because we are free. Free to live, worship, and speak how we wish. But freedom does not come free - it comes with a price - a price that those who fought for our country have paid. I want to show my appreciation to all veterans on this day. Thank you for doing your duty, stepping up and not down, defending our freedom and putting your life on the line. It is a sacrifice you do not have to make. You are what keeps America strong – the land of the free, the home of the brave. I am proud to call myself an American and it is the men and women who serve our country that attribute to this great sense of pride. May God be with each and every veteran and all those who serve to protect our freedoms and this beautiful country.” Let us reflect on Veterans Day with some memorable quotes from our countries former leaders: Abraham Lincoln: “The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.” Dwight D. Eisenhower: “In order to insure proper and widespread observance of this anniversary, all veterans, all veterans’ organizations, and the entire citizenry will wish to join hands in the common purpose.” Ronald Reagan: “We remember those who were called upon to give all a person can give, and we remember those who were prepared to make that sacrifice if it were demanded of them in the line of duty, though it never was. Most of all, we remember the devotion and gallantry with which all of them ennobled their nation as they became champions of a noble cause.” George W. Bush: “We will not tire, We will not falter, We will not fail.”
