Cummings Statement Commemorating Veterans Day

THE AFRO — “On Veterans Day, as on every other day, we must never forget that human freedom remains America’s first principle and the ultimate source of our strength. What is also critical to remember, however, is that the freedoms we enjoy are not free,” said Cummings.  “Many have made tremendous sacrifices to ensure our safety, comfort, and way of life.”

“On Veterans Day, as on every other day, we must never forget that human freedom remains America’s first principle and the ultimate source of our strength.

“We must particularly remember those who laid down their lives in the service of our nation; we are forever indebted and eternally grateful to them.
