Dear Veterans and families,
Every Veterans Day, Americans come together to remember those who have served our country around the world in the name of freedom and democracy.
The debt we owe you is immeasurable. Your sacrifices, and those of your families, are freedom's foundation. Without the brave efforts of all of you -- soldiers, sailors, airmen and women, Marines and Coast Guardsmen and women and your families -- our country would not be free.
When I was first elected to Congress in 2007, I made the pledge of "Taking Care of Home First."
Dear Friends,
Thank you to everyone who attended our town halls this month in Conyers and Covington or who tuned in on our Facebook live feed. We had four successful town halls in every county in the Fourth District, and I thank everyone who participated. We had four excellent discussions on the issues of the day. I'll be conducting telephone town halls in the near future, and we're holding a Twitter town hall on Nov. 6 from 3:30-4:40 PM. I'll have more details on those upcoming town halls soon.
