Greetings,

We hope you had a great week! Not only was Monday Veterans Day, but we also recognized Veterans Small Business Week this week and are excited for Congressman Kim’s annual Veterans Town Hall tomorrow. These are important opportunities to show our appreciation for our entire military community as we continue our work to have their backs.

As always, we hope you find these updates and resources helpful.

TOMORROW: Congressman Kim to Honor and Hear from Local Military Community at Annual Veterans Town Hall

Congressman Kim will be holding his annual veterans town hall on Saturday, November 16th at 11 AM to honor veterans’ service and speak with a panel of local veterans about their experiences while in service and lessons they would like to share with the community and future generations about serving in the military. At his 81st town hall, the Congressman will be joined by Moorestown Mayor and U.S. Navy veteran Nicole Gillespie and a panel of local, Korean War veterans.

Happy Veterans Day!

On Monday, communities across our nation came together to honor veterans’ service and sacrifice. We work in Congress to not just show our appreciation in words, but to uphold our solemn promise to have their backs with the lifelong benefits and support they and their families earned.

Congressman Kim Helps Introduce Legislation to Improve Access to Prenatal Care for Military Families

For their dedicated service and sacrifices on behalf of our nation, military families deserve healthcare options that can meet their evolving needs. This week, Congressman Kim was proud to introduce the Improving Access to Prenatal Care for Military Families Act with Senator Tammy Duckworth and Congresswoman Terri Sewell. This legislation would give some peace of mind to servicemembers, military spouses, and their growing families by designating pregnancy as a Qualifying Life Event under the TRICARE program, empowering dependents of servicemembers to choose a health care plan that meets their needs during pregnancy.

As they continue to be there for us, this designation would help look after them in a time when having the maternal care they need couldn’t be more important.

Uplifting National Veterans Small Business Week

During National Veterans Small Business Week, we celebrate veteran-owned small businesses, their service to our nation and communities, and uplift the critical resources and support they deserve. We are working to ensure entrepreneurs of all backgrounds have every opportunity to thrive in New Jersey.

A Big Step to Combat Hunger

The U.S. Department of Agriculture and Education recently announced a new partnership to expand SNAP awareness and access for college students. This is an important step to strengthen SNAP and combat food insecurity prevalent on college campuses. Congressman Kim is proud to work in Congress to protect and expand SNAP benefits, including through the EATS Act that would permanently expand college students’ SNAP eligibility and his Enhanced Cybersecurity for SNAP Act protect people and families’ Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits from theft.

Happy Birthday Marines

This Sunday, we celebrated the United States Marine Corps 249th anniversary! We join in honoring the courage, commitment, and sacrifices of generations of Marines and their loved ones.
