Today, I was proud to take part in Vet Fest 2026, honoring the brave men and women who have served our nation and continue to make a difference here in Philadelphia.

It was a privilege to recognize this year’s veteran honorees, including Melissa Robbins and Richie Canfield, whose service to our country and continued dedication to our communities embody the very best of public service.

Thank you to Council President Kenyatta Johnson, the Office of Veterans Affairs, and everyone who helped make this event possible. To all of our veterans—thank you for your sacrifice, your courage, and your unwavering commitment to our nation. Philadelphia is forever grateful.

It was an honor to join the American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association (AHEPA) for its 104th Supreme Convention here in Philadelphia.

I was proud to present a City Council Citation recognizing AHEPA’s more than 100 years of leadership, service, philanthropy, and unwavering commitment to education and civic engagement. Organizations like AHEPA continue to strengthen our communities while preserving the rich traditions and values that inspire future generations.

Thank you for choosing Philadelphia to host this year’s convention, and congratulations on a remarkable legacy of service. Wishing you continued success for many years to come.
