Governor Tom Wolf recognized Pennsylvania's more than 800,000 veterans and their families, whose service can never be fully repaid, today on Veterans Day.

"We owe an inexpressible debt to Pennsylvania's distinguished veterans and their families, they are the strength of our nation and commonwealth," said Gov. Wolf. "Their service has allowed us to prosper and live in freedom, and for that, on behalf of all Pennsylvanians, I extend my deepest gratitude this Veterans Day."

Gov. Wolf and First Lady Frances Wolf shared their thanks to Pennsylvania's veterans in a video message.

Read the transcript of Gov. Wolf's message:

"Veterans day is an opportunity for us to honor you. The brave people who serve our country and protect our freedoms through the United States armed services.

Pennsylvania is home to nearly 800,000 veterans; it is our privilege to thank each one of you for your service.

On this day, we recognize the tremendous physical, mental, and emotional toll that your service has had on you.
