Franken: I Hope Every Minnesotan Joins Me Today in Honoring Our Veterans | 2013-11-11 | 2013 | 2013-11 | Democrat | House | MN | Al Franken | F000457 | franken.senate.gov | legacy | Today, U.S. Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) made the following statement in honor of Veterans Day. Sen. Franken celebrated Veterans Day by speaking at a community veterans event in New Richland, Minn. and meeting with veterans in Austin, Minn. "It makes me so proud to come from a state where so many men and woman have made the courageous and selfless decision to serve our country," said Sen. Franken. "Today, I hope every Minnesotan joins me to pause and honor the service and sacrifice of our soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen, as well as their families. "One of the main reasons I became a Senator was to make sure we as a country make good on our promises to veterans and their families. I will keep working to improve veterans' access to health care in rural areas and to make sure that VA is getting the benefits our veterans have earned into their hands with no delay. And I will continue to encourage employers in Minnesota and around the country to hire veterans." | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
