It was a distinct honor to meet with two Medal of Honor recipients, Sergeant Major Pat Payne and Lieutenant Colonel Will Swenson.
We had a great conversation about the reintroduction of my Medal of Honor Act, which increases the pension of Medal of Honor recipients from $18,000 to $100,000 annually. Increasing the pension will help ensure that these heroes and their families can always make ends meet.
It’s the least we can do in recognition of their unwavering service to this great nation.
