“Today, we officially celebrate Veterans Day, but in Virginia, every day is
Veterans Day. May we never forget to pause and reflect on the noble sacrifices
of the best among us,” Governor Glenn Youngkin.

On Wednesday, Governor Youngkin reminded Virginians that we have accomplished
a lot together on a bipartisan basis over the last two years – lowering the
cost of living, creating jobs, empowering parents, improving our behavioral
health system, supporting law enforcement and so much more. Governor Youngkin
remains optimistic that together we will continue on a path that will make
Virginia the best place to live, work and raise a family. The Spirit of
Virginia lives on.

On the birthday of the United States Marine Corps, Governor Youngkin
reflected back on 248 years of heroes who defended our freedoms with a sense of
commitment that very few are willing to make. As is customary at Marine Corps
birthday celebrations, the first piece of cake was given to the guest of honor,
Governor Youngkin. The second to the oldest Marine present in the Patrick Henry
Building who then in turn passed it on to the youngest Marine present. A
tradition which emphasizes the fact that Marines care for their young Marines
before they look to their own needs.
Happy Birthday United States Marine Corps!

On Wednesday, First Lady of Virginia Suzanne Youngkin attended the
first-of-its-kind “Girls with Pearls” gathering. The “Girls with Pearls”
program is a collaboration between Petersburg’s Blandford Academy, Communities
in Schools (CIS), and volunteers who are partnered with the First Lady’s
office. “Girls with Pearls” is built on the premise that sixth-grade learners
benefit from engagement with mentors, and mentors are equally blessed by
spending time with inquisitive young girls. These once-monthly gatherings will
serve as an opportunity to socialize and engage on important health and
wellbeing topics that Mrs. Youngkin has stressed through her W+g initiative.
Girls who complete the program are awarded a strand of pearls — a symbol of
solidarity and sisterhood.

In line with the First Lady’s dedication to the well-being of Virginia
families, Mrs. Youngkin recently promoted Foundation Fatherhood, a Richmond
nonprofit that provides resources to new dads. Foundation Fatherhood offers a
“New Dad 101” class that teaches husbands and fathers how to best support their
partners through the stages of parenthood. Classes are offered in-person and
virtually to better reach all interested parties. The First Lady also shared an
opportunity for people to submit names of deserving dads to the Foundation for
a chance for their families to earn a visit from Saint Nicholas, be treated to
dinner, be provided presents for their children, and be given a gift card
during the holiday season. Read more details on Mrs. Youngkin’s Instagram:

LIFE.

Governor Youngkin and First Lady Suzanne S. Youngkin joined other elected
officials and a small but impressive percentage of Virginia's 700,000 veterans
at Warriors Taphouse in Virginia Beach. Together, they shared a meal, honored
military heroes, cut an anniversary cake for Marines and made a case for all
veterans to stay in Virginia!

This Veterans Day, we honor heroes like Paul Galanti, a Vietnam War POW who
endured torturous imprisonment for six and a half years in North Vietnam. In
1973, Galanti was released and reunited with his wife Phyllis in Virginia, an
outspoken advocate for American POWs. This year, First Lady Suzanne Youngkin
had the privilege of meeting Paul and other brave men at the Executive Mansion
for a reception commemorating the 50th anniversary of their homecoming and the
1973 reception hosted by Governor Linwood Holton, celebrating their safe
return. To view this portrait of Paul and Phyllis Galanti, visit the Executive
Mansion for a tour every Tuesday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., or head to
the Mansion’s website to learn more.
