Friend --

Serving in the United States Air Force was the greatest honor of my life. I was fortunate to serve beside incredible men and women whose love of country and fidelity to the Constitution ran deep.

Today, I’m especially grateful for all the Veterans who came before us—those who protected our nation, defended our freedoms, and safeguarded our democracy.

In a time of deep division, our military stands as a powerful reminder of what unites us. It is one of the most respected institutions in America precisely because it serves the nation—not a party, not a person. Its strength lies in its nonpartisan commitment to the Constitution and to the people of the United States.

So today, and every day, let’s remember what our Veterans have given—and what they continue to represent.
Today, if you see a Veteran, thank them. If you know a Veteran, tell them their service still inspires a nation that’s worth believing in.

On behalf of all of us at Country First — thank you to every American who has served.

Onward,
Adam Kinzinger

PS: Country First will be hosting a Day of Action, tomorrow at 3 P.M. Eastern. 

The government may reopen this week, but as this potential deal takes shape, we have to ask:

• Does it address the cost of living?
• Does it strengthen our communities?
• Does it reflect our values as a democracy?
