Gerry Connolly Sends A Veterans Newsletter
One of my first acts as your Congressman was to travel to Iraq and Afghanistan to meet with our troops. I’m inspired by their courage and dedication to securing peace and protecting our national security. We all need to be mindful of the tremendous sacrifices made by our military families, many of whom will be spending the holiday season separated from loved ones serving abroad.
In Congress, we have been able to achieve bipartisan agreement on vital issues affecting benefits for military personnel, their families and our veterans. Those who have fought to defend our freedom deserve the best health care and counseling services. As a nation, we owe military families the support they need, and returning troops the educational opportunities that will lead to career success when they leave the service.
I will continue to work with members of both parties and the Administration to meet our commitments to those who serve America in uniform.
