This year, ongoing missions overseas and veterans needs at home underscore why Veterans Day is an opportunity for all Americans to express and demonstrate our gratitude for our veterans. “A little more than a month ago, a new memorial was dedicated in the nation’s capital. Situated at the base of Capitol Hill, the American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial is a tribute to all disabled veterans, whose lives have been altered irrevocably by their service to our nation. It will also serve as constant reminder of the appreciation due to these veterans and our duty to meet our commitments to them. “As a U.S. Senator, I am committed to working to ensure that the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense and other government agencies are more effective in meeting the needs of our military, veterans and their families. We can be proud that the G.V. “Sonny” Montgomery Veterans Administration Medical Center and Mississippi State University have recently established an innovative partnership to provide health services to veterans on campus. It is part a new push by the VA to ensure that disabled veterans have better access to the care they need wherever they are. “Mississippians recognize that as Americans, we are all beneficiaries of the liberties and freedoms secured and protected by our veterans. Today, we have an opportunity to show our appreciation. Whether participating in a parade, attending a pancake breakfast for veterans or filling Shoeboxes for Soldiers, I truly appreciate that the people of our state will appropriately commemorate Veterans Day and renew their commitment to honor the men and women who have served and fought for our republic.” LINK • American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial: http://www.avdlm.org/ • Monument Photo available below. • Jackson VA, MSU partnering to provide veterans' healthcare: http://bit.ly/1xhQOYO ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
