Once again, this December has been a busy stretch in Washington as Congress continues the rest of the appropriations work for 2024,\u201d said Congresswoman Amata. \u201cIt was great news that on December 14th, we completed final passage of the NDAA, authorizing a well-deserved 5.2 percent pay raise for our men and women in the military. To each of our Toa o Samoa, and our military families, thank you! We\u2019ll be thinking of those of you stationed away from home during the holidays.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis season is a celebration of joy, peace, and hope, but most of all, the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ,\u201d she continued. \u201c\u2018A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed,\u2019 (Proverbs 11:25 NIV). May we remember charity, and take special joy in our families, friends, and many blessings this year.
