Our service members exemplify patriotism, honor, and selflessness.

I represent 48,000 veterans.

Ahead of Veterans' Day Weekend, I want to share that it is an honor and a privilege to represent the women and men in uniform of Washington's 2nd Congressional District in Congress.

Our service members exemplify patriotism, honor, and selflessness, as they willingly place themselves in harm's way to protect the values and principles that underpin our democracy. Their unwavering commitment and resilience in the face of danger and adversity are nothing short of remarkable, and we must continuously acknowledge the sacrifices they make on behalf of our country.

Service members and their families bear tremendous burdens: extended deployments, frequent relocations, and the enduring uncertainty that accompanies military life all impose hardships that often go unnoticed.

In Congress, I remain committed to supporting Veterans, active duty military, and their loved ones. It is my privilege to champion policies and initiatives that bolster the well-being, health care, and benefits of our service members and their families, including:

I will continue to advocate for robust resources for service members and their families as they make unsung sacrifices to address the various challenges that confront our nation.

To our active duty service members, veterans, and their loved ones: thank you for your dedicated commitment to our nation, and happy Veterans' Day.

Rick
