Tuberville\u2019s remarks can be found below, and complete remarks can be found here.\n\n\u201cVeterans\u2019 mental health is one of the most unspoken struggles our brave men and women in uniform endure after serving our country. Many struggle silently and alone, which is why suicide has become a leading cause of death among our veterans. Combatting the mental health crisis for Alabama veterans has become the number one mission of U.S. Army Specialist Ashlie Combs of Rainbow City.\n\nAshlie enlisted in the Army in 2003 after graduating from Bay Minette High School. She grew up in a military family, so she knew the hardships of military life. But the September 11th attacks made Ashlie want to do her part to protect our great country.\n\n[\u2026]\n\nAlong the way, she got involved in the local Veterans Treatment Court where she has spent countless hours helping set vets up for success. Ashlie goes to great lengths to see veterans through their treatment from start to finish.\n\nShe recently received her graduate degree in counseling from Auburn University so that she can do this kind of work full-time. [\u2026] September is Suicide Prevention Month, and we are fortunate to have veterans like Ashlie who use their experience to help veterans struggling with their mental health. It is my honor to recognize Ashlie Combs as the September \u2018Veteran of the Month.\u2019\u201d\n\nConstituents can nominate an Alabama veteran and submit their information to Sen. Tuberville\u2019s office for consideration in the 2026 \u201cVeteran of the Month\u201d series by emailing press_office@tuberville.senate.gov.\n\nSenator Tommy Tuberville represents Alabama in the United States Senate and is a member of the Senate Armed Services, Agriculture, Veterans\u2019 Affairs, HELP and Aging Committees.\n\n###", 1, "2026-09-03T09:29:33Z", "2026-09-03T09:31:32Z"]], "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://www.tuberville.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/tuberville-honors-ashlie-combs-of-rainbow-city-as-september-veteran-of-the-month/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.963984988629818, "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"}
