Honoring America’s Veterans: On Wednesday, Members of the House gathered on Capitol Hill to honor the brave men and women who served in the Armed Forces. Veterans Day is an opportunity to show our gratitude to those who defended our homeland against threats around the world. As a proud Army Dad, I know firsthand the sacrifices veterans and their families have made. As elected officials, we have a responsibility to meet the needs of our veterans, ensuring they succeed during their transition to civilian life. This week, I was pleased to support the Major Richard Star Act, legislation that will allow combat-wounded, medically retired veterans to receive retirement pay and disability compensation without penalties. This bill passed the House this week and now heads to the Senate to be considered. To every veteran in Pennsylvania’s 15th Congressional District and across America, thank you for your commitment to our country. God bless our veterans and God bless the United States!
