Honoring Our Medal of Honor Heroes: With my support, the House passed legislation to establish a permanent home on the National Mall for the National Medal of Honor Monument. Our nation has a duty to preserve the stories of heroes like Medal of Honor recipients Hershel “Woody” Williams and Arkansas’s Maurice “Footsie” Britt and ensure their examples of courage and service live on.

🇺🇸 ONE NATION. MANY GENERATIONS OF SERVICE. 🇺🇸

From World War II and Korea, to Vietnam, the Gulf War, Iraq, Afghanistan, and those serving today — generations of Americans have answered the call to defend our Nation.

Different uniforms.
Different battlefields.
Different generations.

But the commitment to duty, honor, courage, and country remains the same.

The Department of West Virginia, Military Order of the Purple Heart, proudly honors every generation of America’s veterans.

We also believe one of the greatest things veterans can do is bring generations together.

Our older veterans carry decades of experience and history. Our younger veterans represent the future of our veteran organizations. By sharing our stories, supporting one another, and continuing to serve our communities, we ensure that the bonds of military service remain strong.

🇺🇸 No generation of veterans should ever be forgotten.
