I am one with the nation in the observance of All Saints Day and All Souls Day.
This season is an invitation for us to honor all the saints, both known and unknown, and celebrate the lives of our departed loved ones. We also take the time to honor the legacy, memory, and patriotic deeds of our fallen comrades who selflessly dedicated their lives in service to the country and made the ultimate sacrifice.
May we take this opportunity to rekindle our commitment to continue to serve the living, cherish the gifts of life and freedom, and strengthen our faith, drawing inspiration from the lives well-lived of those who passed.
I wish you a meaningful and solemn respite, and may the departed bless us with peace and grace during these days of remembrance.
