The final spellbinding minute of Secretary Hegseth’s Memorial Day address will leave you with chills if you listen closely.
Hegseth delivered a powerful vow of remembrance to honor those that paid the ultimate price.
HEGSETH: “Today, with this humble ceremony, we owe at least this, that with every salute, with every ceremony, with every parade, with every prayer, every day, and every year, we remember.”
“That by our remembrance we guard the eternal flame that they lit with the price of their youth.”
“They were Americans from small towns and big cities.”
“And in the words of the Apostle Paul, they stood against the darkness of the world, wearing the breastplate of righteousness.”
“They’ve now gone on to their reward, but we remember them here on this hallowed ground. To them, to those I say, your watch is finished, but the legacy of what you left is eternal.”
“You raced to the breach so that we could walk in freedom and prosperity.”
“May we live lives worthy of their sacrifice and boldly carry forth their fight for freedom, picking up the sword of the spirit and charging forward daily.”
“May Almighty God bless our warriors, and may Almighty God bless our fallen and those they love.”
“Always remember and amen.”
