On this Memorial Day weekend, V.I. Delegate to Congress Donna M. Christensen encouraged Virgin Islanders to remember with reverence all who have been lost in all of our nation’s conflicts, especially those Virgin Islanders who have made the ultimate sacrifice. They may be small in number among all of the hundreds of thousands, who have given their lives from the revolutionary war to the present that we honor on every Memorial Day, but they are too many to us and the pain of their loss remains large in our hearts,” said Congresswoman Christensen. “As millions across the nation will gather together on Monday to commemorate Memorial Day, on behalf of the 113th Congress of the United States, I thank them for the supreme sacrifice that they have made on behalf of our Country, and all of us, their fellow Virgin Islanders. Ours is a debt to all who lost loved ones in every war and conflict that can never ever be fully repaid.” “So as we memorialize those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, let us commit ourselves as a community to their families, our remaining veterans, those who serve today and those who will serve tomorrow,” Congresswoman Christensen concluded. “God bless the men and women of our Armed Forces past and present. God bless our Country, the U.S. Virgin Islands and us all.”
