Honolulu, HI - Congresswoman Colleen Hanabusa (HI-01), member of the House Armed Services Committee, released the following statement in observance of Veterans Day:

"Our nation's greatest achievements have come as a result of the service and sacrifice of those who were ready to stand up and fight. Our brave men and women in uniform put themselves at risk to preserve our ideals and protect our freedoms."

"On this Veterans Day, a day of remembrance and renewal, let us reaffirm our commitment to our heroes. No veteran should ever feel alone. They should not have to struggle for a job, a home, or the services and benefits they have rightfully earned. Our commitment to our veterans and their families should be as strong and inspiring as their service."
