Doves are the traditional and Biblical symbols of peace. These doves were seeking safety and trying to stay warm in our backyard this afternoon. I enjoyed their beauty and loved the sybolism of the peace that we hold dear here.

Peace, like the doves, can perish easily. We must keep the liberties that provide for peace safe. That is done by brave men and women in our military who are sworn to preserve the Constitution that ensures the continued safety of our people and those liberties.
