Thursday, November 11, (Veteran’s Day) is a special day in the history of our country. This day is designated to honor the service of many brave men and women who have served our country in the United States Armed Forces.
It is because of our veterans, their sacrifices and service to our country that the United States of America is frequently referred to as the greatest nation in the world.
Over the years many KHP employees have proudly served our nation. Whether they served in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, National Guard or Reserves, all represent a deep dedication, perseverance and sense of pride, all traits that this great nation was built on.
This Veteran’s Day, I encourage each of you to honor the service of our current and past veterans. Whether you fly your flag, attend a parade, or extend a handshake and a thank you to our veterans, each will know that their service is appreciated.
From the men and women of the Kansas Highway Patrol, I would like to thank the veterans for their service, bravery, and the sacrifices you have made to ensure our freedom.
To the families of veterans, know that we understand the sacrifices you have made in support of your loved ones while they served our country. Thank you for sharing your husbands, wives, sons, daughter, mothers and fathers to ensure the safety and security of Kansas and our Nation.
The United States of America will continue to be the greatest nation in the world as long as there are brave men and women willing to serve to ensure the freedoms we enjoy.
