Memorial Day thoughts: Rick Bennett

Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate Rick Bennett shared these thoughts on Memorial Day:
“It is important that we reflect on the sacrifices of those
who died protecting the freedoms that make ours the greatest country of all.

The men and women in our armed services are to be thanked and cherished for
their work for – and commitment to – our nation. My grandfather proudly
served with the Seabees in World War II. He was part of the greatest
generation.

Sadly, the world is still a very dangerous place, and we
continue to rely upon the willingness of brave Americans to serve, protect
and sacrifice. On Memorial Day, we pause and think of them.”
