“I pledge a heartfelt thank you to all Veterans of the United States of America. Thank you for your bravery, loyalty, and sacrifice for my freedom. Your commitment and dedication will never be forgotten.”
New Jerseyans and Americans as a whole must do more to show our gratitude for veterans' sacrifice of their lives.
As we witness the wars in Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Palestine, and the conflicts in Iraq and elsewhere, we are fortunate that our veterans are fighting for our freedom and the freedoms of our allies.
Therefore, veterans deserve our pledge of thanks as part of our daily routine in schools and public forums. Let’s all do our part and contact our local representatives to enact the Veterans Pledge.
