Statement from Governor Phil Scott on Memorial Day

Montpelier, Vt. - Governor Phil Scott today issued the following statement on Memorial Day:

"Since our nation's earliest days, Vermonters have fought and died to protect the freedoms we enjoy today. Time and time again, Vermonters have shouldered more than our share in the fight for freedom, and it is our duty to honor those who left and never came home.

"Theirs is the greatest example of what it means to be an American: the selfless sacrifice made in defense of freedom and in service to something greater than themselves. So today, and every day, let us remember the names and faces of those who sacrificed all for each and every one of us."
