Memorial Day Message from Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband

On the final Monday in May each year we pause as a nation to pay our respects to those members of the Armed forces who have devoted themselves and risk their lives to the defense of our nation.  This year, while all else has changed, we continue this important task.  In our country’s history, members of our armed forces have sacrificed in order to protect Americans on every continent.  Now, the battle is at home.  And the fight is against an invisible foe.  Nevertheless, members of our armed forces have stood up in our defense.
