A sincere THANK YOU to those who have made the sacrifice to serve
Statement from Alderman Lamont Westmoreland November 11, 2024
I want to say THANK YOU and formally recognize the everyday heroes who serve in various parts of the world who have made the sacrifice to serve: the members of our Armed Forces and Veterans.
I also strongly favor finding ways that we can support our veterans, as far too many face homelessness, battles with substance abuse, depression, and PTSD from facing sometimes unimaginable horrors during their service overseas in our name. These heroes fought and continue to fight to preserve the freedoms that we so often take for granted here in the U.S., and without their service we would not be able to live in a nation that values freedom as much as we do. The right to vote freely (something we just celebrated with about 143 million of our fellow Americans), the right to speak freely, and the right to live freely have all been protected by our active duty service members and veterans. It is important that we never fail to recognize and appreciate those who have sacrificed so we can enjoy those rights.
It truly is a great sacrifice to serve our country, so please take a moment to appreciate our veterans and their willingness to serve and sacrifice for the greater good of the United States of America.
