Sen. Cramer to Newsmax: Young People Don’t Know Cost of Freedom

Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., reflected on the meaning of Memorial Day and told Newsmax on Saturday that “many young people don’t know the cost of freedom.”

Asked during an appearance on “Saturday Agenda” how to bring patriotism back to a country that seems to have lost its way, Cramer said, “The way I would start … I would encourage every parent and every grandparent to bring your children and your grandchild to a Memorial Day event that doesn’t just involve hot dogs.”

Cramer, who serves on the Senate Armed Services Committee, noted that his great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather died at the Battle of Bunker Hill during the American Revolutionary War and that his family’s service to the country goes back “to the very very beginning.”
