Ein echter Soldat kämpft nicht, weil er hasst, was vor ihm liegt, sondern weil er liebt, was hinter ihm liegt.
The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.
As a veteran, I know firsthand the satisfaction there is in defending the democracy you so strongly believe in, but I can also attest to the trauma encountered from combat on the battlefield.
The valor and courage of our young women and men in the armed services are a shining example to all of the world, and we owe them and their families our deepest respect.
Honoring the sacrifices many have made for our country in the name of freedom and democracy is the very foundation of Veterans Day.
While only one day of the year is dedicated solely to honoring our veterans, Americans must never forget the sacrifices that many of our fellow countrymen have made to defend our country and protect our freedoms.
On the battlefield, the military pledges to leave no soldier behind. As a nation, let it be our pledge that when they return home, we leave no veteran behind.
On this Veterans Day, let us remember the service of our veterans, and let us renew our national promise to fulfill our sacred obligations to our veterans and their families who have sacrificed so much so that we can live free.
But this Veterans Day, I believe we should do more than sing the praises of the bravery and patriotism that our veterans have embodied in the past. We should take this opportunity to re-evaluate how we are treating our veterans in the present.
The willingness of America's veterans to sacrifice for our country has earned them our lasting gratitude.
Der Soldat betet am meisten von allen für den Frieden, denn er ist es der die Wunden und Narben des Krieges ertragen muss.
The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.
Ein Held ist jemand der sein Leben einer Sache widmet, die größer ist als er selbst.
A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.
