KAUFMAN, TEXAS –Congressman Jeb Hensarling (TX-05) recently met with a group of Kaufman County veterans to hear their concerns and input on federal issues and legislation that affects them. 

“As a Congressman, one of my top priorities is to ensure that our nation's military service veterans receive the help and care that they need and deserve,” Congressman Hensarling said.  “There is no group of people to whom our nation owes more than our veterans.  That is why it is so important for me to stay in touch with them about issues that affect them.

Hensarling, the son, grandson and brother of veterans, went on to tell veterans attending, “I value your input on legislation impacting our current fighting men and women and our veterans.” 

“Throughout our nation's history, whenever our country has been attacked or when the enemies of freedom threaten peace in our world, American men and women in uniform, from all backgrounds and all walks of life, answered the call to defend us.  We owe these brave Americans a debt of gratitude that we can never fully express, but we can make sure that they are well taken care of for their service."

“President Calvin Coolidge once said, ‘The nation which forgets its defenders will itself be forgotten.’  I for one am committed to ensuring this nation never forgets.”
