BISMARCK – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND), member of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee, released the following video message thanking veterans for their service to the United States of America: “Happy Veterans Day to all who have served our great nation! Today, we honor and celebrate the millions of United States veterans who answered the call of service to defend and protect our country.” “I have had the great pleasure of meeting and speaking with veterans across North Dakota throughout this past year. In fact in August, I met 96-year-old World War II veteran Vern Otterson of my hometown of Kindred, North Dakota. His bravery and dedication to our country is evident. I’m grateful I had the opportunity to know him and to honor him with a flag flown over the U.S. Capitol. Courageous soldiers like Vern Otterson embody what it means to live a life dedicated to serving a cause greater than themselves. With every story and every memory we hear from our veterans, our gratitude only increases. “As the saying goes, ‘freedom is never free.’ Our veterans know this better than anyone. It’s because of their sacrifice and commitment to America we are able to enjoy these liberties today. To our veterans and to their families, thank you. God bless you and the United States of America.”
