This volunteer panel, made up of Veterans from across the Third District, advises Rogers on issues important to Veterans and their families. This meeting was held after Congressman Rogers presented the Congressional gold medal to Mr. Robert Freeman, a Veteran who earned the honor during his time as a Montford Point Marine. During the meeting, Rogers and the advisory committee listened to a presentation and update from Mr. James R. Talton, Director of the Central Alabama Veteran Health Care Systems (CAVHCS). “Monday we will honor and remember all who have served our country on Veteran’s Day. I cannot think of a more appropriate time to host a meeting of some of Alabama’s finest Veterans to receive an update from Mr. Talton and to discuss ongoing issues Veterans are facing that need to be addressed in Washington. “The brave men and women in uniform who currently serve and have served sacrifice daily on our behalf. I hope we will continue to honor them and remember the ones who have paid the ultimate sacrifice not only on Veteran’s Day, but every day. Without their selfless willingness to serve, we would not have the same freedoms we enjoy today,” Rogers said. Rogers thanked the Veterans for serving on his committee. “I appreciate these proud Veterans taking time out of their schedules to continue to help advise me on critically important issues to our Veterans across East Alabama.” The Veterans Advisory Committee meets several times each year across East Alabama and is made up of Veterans from the 13 counties in the Third District. Rogers serves as Chairman of the House Armed Services Strategic Forces subcommittee and is a senior member of the House Agriculture and House Armed Services Committees. -### - | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
