OSHKOSH — Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said this Friday on the occasion of Veterans Day:

“After the nation has just finished a long and robust debate over who will represent us in Congress and serve us as president, we Americans should take a moment to remember with gratitude the men and women whose service gave us the freedom to have such a debate and to make such a choice.

“For more than two centuries, millions of the finest among us have been willing to offer their time, their courage, even potentially their lives to defend our freedom. They took an oath to uphold our Constitution. We honor them by living by that Constitution and by responsibly exercising the liberty they bought for us.

"Happy Veterans Day.”
