TOP STORY - NATIONAL SUPPORT GROWS FOR THE
FREE VETERANS ACT!
• I’m
proud to announce my bill to protect Montana veterans
from scam artists (S. 2407) has received support from the
National Association of County Veterans Services officers and the Military
Order of the Purple Heart. I will continue working to pass this
important bill for our veteran community.
SUPPORTING THE MILITARY,
VETERANS, AND THEIR FAMILIES

| Thanking Dr. Jonathan Bingham. |
• During a visit to the Horses Spirits
Healing in Billings on October 3rd, I was impressed by their
certified equine riding instructors that help military veterans
suffering from psychological trauma and physical disabilities.
I’m proud to support their efforts.
• On October 9th, I thanked Dr. Jonathan
Bingham, Mohs Surgeon-Dermatologist at the Great Falls
Clinic for all his tremendous service to our nation while serving in
the Air National Guard, and for all he’s done for the community
of Great Falls.
• For recognition long overdue, I had the
honor of awarding Al Shryer with
his Bronze Star in Great Falls on October 9th. Alfred served
as a Staff Sergeant in the United States Army during 1971. He
performed logistical support in Nha Trang located in the south eastern
coastal region of Vietnam.

Shryer. |
RECENTLY INTRODUCED VETERANS'
LEGISLATION
- To honor veterans and service members that were
deployed or are currently deployed to defend our freedoms, I cosponsored
Senator John Hoeven’s S.Res.381, a resolution designating October 26, 2019, as the
Day of the Deployed.
- To implement programs
that prepare high schools students in JROTC for military and civilian
careers in computer science and cybersecurity, I cosponsored
Democratic Senator Jacky Rosen’s S.2154, the JROTC Cyber Training Act.

Wishes,
