HARTFORD – U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.)‎ released the following statement on Memorial Day.

“For generations, the people of Connecticut have selflessly answered the call of service and defended this great nation. On this Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our state and our country. It’s a debt that can never fully be repaid. We also thank our military families – the husbands and wives, moms and dads, sons and daughters who have given up so much for our country. Today – and every day – we remember those who served, hold dear the values for which we stand, and commit to doing better for the men and women who are fighting for them.”
