Milwaukee, Wisconsin – In commemoration of Veterans Day, Congresswoman Gwen Moore (WI-04) released the following statement: “On Veterans Day, we honor the soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen who continue to keep our nation safe. As we take this opportunity to recognize the sacrifices of our country’s brave men and women in uniform, let us also reaffirm our commitment to taking care of our servicemembers both on and off the battlefield. “Supporting and empowering America’s heroes nationwide begins at home, from creating employment opportunities for our local veteran workforce to providing quality health care for those who return from the theatre of war. Just months ago, I was delighted to learn that that after years of collaboration and advocacy from my office, six buildings at the Milwaukee VA Soldiers Home will finally be rehabilitated and restored to serve veterans. It was a major victory for our servicemembers and those of us who worked diligently to preserve this truly historic site. “Today, please join me in extending warmth and gratitude to our veterans, their families, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice to defend our freedoms.” ### |
