These are not Democratic or Republican issues \u2014 they are principles of the country we live in,\u201d said Congresswoman Lee. \u201cI\u2019m grateful for the work of the Military Order of the Purple Heart Chapter 711 as the voice of combat wounded. The Purple Heart Vietnam veterans we\u2019re honoring today exemplify our nation\u2019s best, and it\u2019s our duty to ensure that we take care of our veterans when they return home.\u201d\n\nLast Congress, Leehelped pass the bipartisan PACT Act to expand health care to veterans exposed to toxic substances during their military service, whichjust awarded its one millionth veteran and survivor disability compensation claim. Lee is alsoleading legislation to implement more comprehensive, systems-focused suicide prevention programs for veterans across the country.\n\nLee was joined by Military Order of the Purple Heart Chapter 711 Commander Vince Palmieri and local Vietnam veterans and their families.\n\nImage\n\nImage\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:43:57Z"]], "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://susielee.house.gov/media/press-releases/congresswoman-lee-honors-local-veterans-vietnam-veteran-pins"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0486929677426815, "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"}
