Honoring our Veterans

Saturday, November 11 was Veterans Day. I am proud to have led the resolution once again in the U.S. House of Representatives honoring the service and sacrifice of America’s veterans on Veterans Day, 2023. Last week my staff honored our Veterans and celebrated those who have served our country. From celebrating a WWII Vet’s 99th birthday to attending lunches and school programs, I’m thankful for a staff that reaches out to the community and shows support for our Veterans. As we celebrated Veterans Day over the weekend, I want to reiterate my profound appreciation to all those who have served our country.
