Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) today released the following statement on Memorial Day:

"Today is a solemn day of commemoration. It's the day when we remember all the men and women in uniform who laid down their lives in service to our country-those American heroes who paid the ultimate price so the rest of us could enjoy the ultimate gift: a free country. On this Memorial Day, we pray for the fallen and for their families that they may find peace in God's embrace. And we resolve that, every time the flag unfurls, it will fly over a proud and strong-and grateful-nation."
