Today we remember and pay tribute to the brave men and women who lost their lives 77 years ago at Pearl Harbor. We will never forget their selfless courage or the sacrifices they made to protect our democracy and freedom around the world.

On Friday, I joined my Democratic colleagues in sending a letter to @SecWilkie demanding clarity for the thousands of student veterans who’ve been underpaid their #GIBill benefits.

Serving as the Ranking Democrat on the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee has been an honor and a privilege. I could not be more proud of the work we’ve accomplished to improve the lives of veterans and I know none of it would have been possible without my incredible staff.

Always an honor to salute our heroes together with dear friends at the Nicollet County #VeteransDay Dinner. We are all so grateful for your service.
I appreciated the opportunity to address Richfield STEM Elementary School at their #VeteransDay Program Friday. Thank you to all who gathered together to honor our veterans and their families for all they have sacrificed for our nation.

Proud to join my fellow Minnesotans this morning in Inver Grove Heights to honor our veterans at the State of Minnesota #VeteransDay Breakfast. We are forever in debt to those who have borne the battle.

It was a pleasure to see my good friend Red Arndt at the Governor’s Pheasant Opener over the weekend in Luverne. Thanks for your longtime advocacy for your community and the Lewis and Clark Regional Water System. Luverne and SW MN wouldn’t be where it is today without you, Red.
