We Must Remember to Thank Our Veterans

Steve Pearce

By U.S. Congressman Steve Pearce Sixteen million Americans served in World War II. Their courage and sacrifice has rightfully earned the label of “The Greatest Generation,” and there are veterans throughout New Mexico’s Second District who deserve that same recognition. Recently, I was honored to take part in an event hosted by the Spirit of ’45 in Roswell, New Mexico. The purpose of the event was to commemorate the victory of World War II.  Spirit of ’45 is a group that annually recognizes the service of WWII veterans. Their mission is “to preserve the legacy of the men and women of the Greatest Generation so that their example of courage, self-sacrifice, ‘can-do’ attitude and commitment to community can help inspire a renewal of national unity in America at a time when our country once again must come together to meet historic challenges.” This year’s event in Roswell was held to honor five WWII veterans: John Anderson, Fred T. Bartlett, James E. Goss, Rudy Cummins, and Lloyd Soleman. Read rest of column here: News New Mexico
