Palmer released the following statement:\n\n\u201cIn Romans 13:7 (NKJV), the Bible tells us to \u2018Render therefore to all their due\u2026 honor to whom honor.\u2019 For Veterans of the Vietnam War, the honor we owe them is long overdue. Those who served in Vietnam answered their country\u2019s call in a difficult and divisive time. When they returned home, they often received little to no recognition for their sacrifice. It was a privilege to recognize these veterans for their dedication and service to our nation. Especially around Veterans Day, it\u2019s never too late to thank our veterans,\u201d said Rep. Palmer. \u201cI would like to express a special thank you to my staff and thank you to Mayor Wash and the City of Pelham for hosting the event and ensuring we gave these veterans the recognition they deserve.\u201d\n\nThe event opened with remarks from Pelham Mayor Rick Wash and Rep. Palmer. Following the remarks, Rep. Palmer pinned all veterans in attendance and thanked them for their service.", 1, "2026-04-04T05:28:40Z", "2026-04-04T05:30:10Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://palmer.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/palmer-hosts-pinning-ceremony-honor-vietnam-war-veterans"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.2854901142418385, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
