Eighty years ago today, the greatest generation was born from the ashes of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Navy Veteran J.C. Alston was there, and recounts that fateful day in December 1940. bit.ly/3pyYVkw

In honor of Guardsmen James A. Rogers Jr., Charles P. Nord, and Kort M. Plantenberg, the House rose for a moment of silence to honor these heroes tonight. I continue to pray for their families and the entire @MNNationalGuard as they mourn their brothers. emmer.house.gov/press-releas…

The Fourth of July makes us think of a lot of things: Barbecues. Parades. Fireworks. Lots of red, white and blue. Oh yeah, and the freedom that our founding fathers declared to the world over 200 years ago. Brush up on your Independence Day knowledge: bit.ly/2xtQ4G8
