For all of those men and women who have sacrificed for our nation: thank you.
Today, we wanted to honor members of the armed forces across the nation and around the world who serve. Today, less than 0.5% of Americans are serving in the military. In honor of Memorial Day, we also wanted to pay tribute specifically to some of the great athletes who have served in the military. Many had promising college or professional careers that were put on hold. A few made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our nation. We would like to honor those heroes here.
