Greetings Veterans, Military Personnel, and their Families,

Thank you for your service and sacrifice. It is an honor to represent thousands of military families – like you – in the 10th Congressional District. You serve our country with honor and courage and deserve all the best at home, on base, and in the field. I’ve compiled a list of helpful websites specifically for people like you. I encourage you to browse these websites and see what services and resources are out there. You earned it. Take advantage of it.

Again, thank you so much for serving our great country. By keeping us safer and more secure, you are truly the guardians of a free people. For information on my work impacting the military, veterans, and their families, please visit my military/veterans policy page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office.
