On Purple Heart Day, we remember those extraordinary people who have served in our military and armed forces.

Every year, thousands of men and women answer the call to serve our country. They leave their communities and homes to defend our freedoms in many different places. 

Today brings me special memories of my friend Rae Peppers and her son, Pfc. Joshua Peppers. After Josh was wounded in Afghanistan, and received his Purple Heart for his bravery, Rae pushed the Montana statehouse to provide scholarships so that Purple Heart recipients across Montana could receive an education and begin the next chapter of their lives a little easier.

Montana is proud to be a state with exceptionally high rates of military service, including in our Native communities. Today, and every day, we thank them for their service. And they not only deserve our thanks, but to receive the services they have been promised.

When you elect me to serve Montana in Congress, I’ll ensure that this mission is always prioritized and accomplished.

Thank you,

Kathleen Williams
