Honoring Veterans, Past and Present

Statement

Veterans Day is a day of remembrance as well as celebration. I was honored to have the opportunity to reflect upon and celebrate the service of our veterans with several groups in the Ninth District.

Last week, I attended the unveiling of a new monument dedicated to all American veterans of all wars, honored a young Marine who was injured in the line of duty, and presented a constituent with his father's replacement medals. This week I have the opportunity to present a Korean War veteran from Southwest Virginia with a long-deserved service medal for his valor.

I remain deeply grateful for the service and sacrifice of our veterans. For many of our veterans, their sacrifices continue even as they return home. If you or someone in your family needs assistance getting veterans' benefits, my office is available to help.
