As the celebrations and remembrances of today’s Veterans’ Day fade, I would like to thank the Philippine Scout veterans and their families for their service.

Serving in the United States Army, I am humbled and privileged to be a part of the same tradition of selfless service and sacrifice that you exemplified as Philippine Scouts. And for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of the Philippines and the United States of America, I am grateful. Thank you again for all that you have done!
