Information regarding my stance on Veterans' issues.
Congresswoman Betty McCollum (DFL-Minn.) released the following statement in observance of Veterans Day:
On Veterans Day, we take time to honor the brave and selfless service of the women and men of the United States Armed Forces. We dedicate this day to the sacrifices made at home by their families and loved ones who do so much to support our heroes.
