Support our Troops

My office receives hundreds of calls and emails from constituents asking what can be done to help support our troops during this time of war. As your Congressman, I continue to fight for funding to provide our troops with the armor, benefits, and moral support they deserve. Below I have provided links for you to show our men and women in uniform the appreciation and support they are worthy of. Thank you again, and may God bless our soldiers, their families, and our community which has come together to support our men and women in uniform during this difficult time.

Sincerely,

                                                             Congressman Nick J. Rahall, II.
