On Saturday several members of VA-5 participated in the Miles for Our Veterans, If These Boots Could Talk Walk to Remember. Not all members could meet up so many participated virtually. Some met at Arlington Cemetery, some walked parks near their homes, while some did so on vacation. They walked wherever they could in support of a worthy cause.

Fellow Virginia Veterans and Family Members-

Good afternoon,


I couldn’t be prouder and more impressed with our Virginia Military and Veteran Community than I am today. Once again, you have stood together and tall, speaking courageously of your own personal and family’s stories before our legislative leaders to preserve the Virginia Military Survivors and Dependents Education Program (VMSDEP). Those stories and your voices have been compelling. Like you, I could only wish that more of our Senate leaders could have been present to see and hear you. It was clearly representative of the best of America, and most worthy of the memory of your family’s heroes. THANK YOU!

Success on the House side was quick, and the full repeal with HB 6003 should lift your spirits this weekend. I also appreciate the emotional energy that you and your families have expended these past days and weeks. Please rest well, because we need each other to be fully ready again in just a few days. As our Governor said this morning, we will have more opportunities; and the next opportunity will be on Monday as the Senate considers their action. I look forward to seeing you there, and representing those that cannot be there with us, but are depending on us to continue, and never forget, nor be forgotten. And let’s get that full repeal in the Virginia Senate for our Governor to sign….See you Monday!

Should you wish to stay up to date on the Task Force please visit the VMSDEP Taskforce page here. If you are a veteran in need of general assistance, please visit www.dvs.virginia.gov to learn more about how your Virginia Department of Veterans Services can serve you and your family or email [email protected].
