Ron DeSantis: Without Citizens in Uniform, Our System of Government Would Not Stand the Test of Time—
Our system of government would not stand the test of time if not for the men and women who have risked their lives serving the country, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said in a poignant Memorial Day message on Monday.
DeSantis, who served in the U.S. Navy and was deployed to Iraq, said in a statement that the sacrifices of those who lost their lives “represent patriotism in its purest form.”
“Their service was — and remains — indispensable in preserving the republic,” the Florida governor said, emphasizing the belief of the U.S. Founding Fathers that liberty is not given by government but God alone and preserved by the People.
