Concord - Jennifer Horn, Chairman of the New Hampshire Republican State Committee, released the following the statement today:

"Since the birth of our great nation, our freedom has been paid for by the sacrifice of others.

Over the generations, too many of our sons and daughters have gone to fight for liberty and never returned. Today I invite our neighbors across New Hampshire to join us in honoring and remembering in prayer, those who have laid themselves down in defense of freedom. Let us also keep in our prayers those mothers and fathers, husbands and wives, who must carry on without their loved one. May God bring them peace and comfort.

The United States of America has long been, and must forever remain, a beacon of hope for freedom-seeking people everywhere. Let us each recommit to the fight to protect and preserve those founding principles of individual liberty that so many have died to defend."
