Beatty Statement Honoring our Veterans on Veteran’s Day

WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (OH-03) released the following statement in recognition of Veteran’s Day: 

“Each year, on November 11th, we pause to pay tribute to our veterans – the men and women who have served this country with honor and distinction. To the almost 22 million veterans in the United States, and the 43,000 veterans who live in my congressional district, I say thank you. A grateful nation will never forget the families and the survivors of those who selflessly served and sacrificed. You answered the call of duty and never wavered.  Whether at home or abroad, whether at war or in times of peace, you have kept our nation safe and protect the freedoms we value so greatly.

“As we reform the way the Department of Veterans Affairs operates, we also need to pass important legislation such as the Veterans Pensions Protection Act, H.R. 1438, the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act, H.R. 543, and the Veterans Mental Health Accessibility Act, H.R. 1725. In gratitude and humility, it is now our turn to thank you by providing the benefits and resources you have earned and deserve. Thank you and Happy Veteran's Day.”
