As you prepare for the long Memorial Day weekend, I thought you might want to read Senator Tom Cotton’s remarks in a speech he delivered at our Kirby Center in Washington, D.C.
Imprimis, our digest of liberty, featured his speech, “Sacred Duty: A Soldier’s Tour at Arlington National Cemetery.” In it, Senator Cotton covers the history and significance of Arlington National Cemetery. He covers the level of perfection and respect that goes into honoring our fallen soldiers.
His message is especially relevant this Memorial Day weekend as we reflect on those who made the greatest sacrifice for our country.

I hope you enjoy reading this great article. And I hope you and your family take some time to reflect this weekend on the brave men and women who “wage[d] war to defend all that we hold dear.”
