Gov. Doug Burgum issued a statement today in observance of Veterans Day, saying, "Today we extend our deepest gratitude to the ordinary Americans who perform extraordinary acts of valor in the name of freedom, the soldiers who put service to country and preservation of liberty above all else, including our North Dakota National Guard members and active duty servicemen and women."
