Veterans

Members of the United States Armed Forces dedicate their lives to defending our freedom. When they return home, we must provide our veterans and their families with the health, education, and employment resources that they have so bravely earned.
As the daughter of a World War II veteran, I am always mindful of the need to support our veterans and their families. Building on the progress we have already made, we must continue working to ensure veterans have high quality health care, including treatment for the signature injuries of war, access to a four-year college education, and job training programs that can help them transition to the civil workforce.
Special Announcement: A grateful nation thanks and honors you.
The United States of America Vietnam War Commemoration
Congressional Vietnam Veteran Lapel Pin

The 2008 National Defense Authorization Act directed the Secretary of Defense to conduct a program that commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War. The official Vietnam War Commemoration continues through Veterans Day 2025 as it supports federal, state and local government programs and activities.
I look forward to meeting and honoring Vietnam veterans with a presentation of the Vietnam Veteran Lapel Pin, created by the official Vietnam War Commemoration to serve as a lasting recognition of our nation’s gratitude.
All living United States veterans who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces at any time between November 1, 1955, to May 15, 1975, regardless of location of service are eligible to receive this lapel pin.
