Congressman Gregory W. Meeks Honors the Service of U.S. Veterans

(WASHINGTON, DC)– Congressman Gregory Meeks issued the following statement in the honor and observance of Veterans Day:

“The strong patriotism and perseverance that America’s veterans have shown in their service to this country deserves the utmost of honor and praise. America’s veterans have gone beyond the call of duty to protect our democracy. I am extremely thankful for the sacrifices they make each day.”

“The 111th Congress has been working diligently to implement legislation that will make sure that all Veterans receive the benefits that they are entitled to and were promised when they signed up for service. No U.S. Veteran should be without access to proper healthcare, education and work opportunities. In the 111th Congress I have co-sponsored numerous bills to make sure that our veterans are cared for.”

“It is important that America’s veterans have their dedication and commitment to this Nation honored each and every day. I look forward in working with President Obama and my colleagues in Congress to make sure that we enact the necessary legislation to those who have so valiantly served our country.”
