May 28, 2011

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Chuck Fleischmann made the following statement to mark Memorial Day.

"In the Gospel of John, Jesus tells us, ‘Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.' The heroes of the United States military have long shown this love for their fellow soldiers and countrymen by giving up their lives so others may live in peace. While we honor them this Memorial Day, let us remember every day the ultimate sacrifices they have made in the name of freedom everywhere," Fleischmann said.

Congressman Fleischmann will be participating in the Memorial Day ceremony at the Chattanooga National Cemetery on Monday, May 30.
