Secretary of Veterans Affairs Doug Collins told Newsmax on Friday that Americans should be sure to remember fallen service members this Memorial Day and take the time to honor “their sacrifice for our country.”
When asked about how Americans can commemorate Memorial Day this year, Collins told “Wake Up America” that he would ask “them to think of everything that they get to do this weekend across the country, spending time with their families, spending time doing the events that they will have, but I also want them to remember that there’s a reason that they’re able to do that.”
He continued: “When they pass by one of our cemeteries, they pass by one of those areas that remembrance or something’s going on, I want them to remember those who gave their life, their sacrifice for our country.”
