Congressman fights for veterans, active duty personnel to have new commissary in Atlanta area
Dear Friends,
I want to wish everyone a safe and Happy Fourth of July!
As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, it gives me great pride to serve citizens of the Fourth District, Georgia and our nation. Every day I go to work – whether in Washington or in Georgia – I work on behalf of the men and women who so honorably and bravely serve in the U.S. Armed Forces.
As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I am honored to represent Georgia this week as part of a Congressional delegation to Normandy, France, where we are celebrating in the 70th anniversary of the Allied invasion on D-Day.
It has been a humbling experience to lay wreaths and pay homage at the Normandy American Cemetery during memorial ceremonies at Omaha and Sword beaches 70 years after the pivotal June 6, 1944, battle.
Dear Friends,
On this Memorial Day 2014, we honor the fallen men and women of our Armed Services.
Every day in my district or Washington, D.C. offices, one of our constituent services representatives helps a veteran with a housing, health, job or compensation issue.
It is part of what we do in Congress – especially at the district level – helping constituents who have an issue with a federal agency, including our Veterans. Since I took office in 2007, I’m proud to say we’ve helped thousands of veterans receive the benefits they have so rightly earned and deserve.
Dear Friends,
There’s been a lot going on in Washington, D.C. and in the Fourth District, and I’d like to get everyone caught up on issues and projects I’ve been working on.
I was excited to take part in MSNBC’s “Growing Hope” on May 9 for a special edition of PoliticsNation with The Rev. Al Sharpton live from the Sweet Auburn Springfest in downtown Atlanta.
