Hastings (D-FL) issued the following statement in observance of Veteran\u2019s Day:  \r\n\u00a0  \r\n\u201cAs we celebrate Veteran\u2019s Day, let us honor those men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Their courage and sacrifice have not only protected and advanced the freedoms of Americans, but peoples all around the world.\u201cWe must not forget that these men and women \u2013 who have risked their lives for their country \u2013 endure physical wounds, traumatic brain injury, or mental health illnesses such as PTS when they return home. It is our duty as a nation to ensure that our wounded warriors receive the respect and care they so rightly deserve. Let us also remember the alarming and unacceptable number of\u00a0 67,000 veterans who remain homeless.  \r\n\u00a0  \r\n\u201cOur service members deserve our deepest gratitude for their enduring sacrifice, and I will continue to work tirelessly to support the rights of veterans and their families. As a Member of Congress since 1993, I have worked diligently to protect the interests of military personnel and help veterans when returning from the battlefield. Please join me in thanking our veterans today, and extend a helping hand in any way that you can.\u201d  \r\n\u00a0  \r\nCongressman Alcee L. Hastings serves as Senior Member of the House Rules Committee, Ranking Democratic Member of the U.S. Helsinki Commission, and Co-Chairman of the Florida Delegation.\r\n\u00a0\r\n \r\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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": ["http://alceehastings.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=398336"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4713811688125134, "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"}
