| Honoring our Veterans |
Dear Neighbor,
Veterans Day offers a chance for us to give thanks to the dedicated men and women who have served our country in uniform, as well as their families who sacrifice so much to support them. Their courage and selflessness is unmatched, and we must never forget the great debt we owe our veterans.
Our district is home to more than 80,000 veterans and my door is always open to assist these heroes. We have helped veterans obtain Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits, assisted bereaved families in cutting through red tape to schedule burials of fallen servicemembers at Arlington Cemetery, resolved VA claim problems, and secured medals and honors that our veterans rightfully earned but never received.
My engagement with veterans throughout our community shapes my legislative priorities on Capitol Hill. I am proud that my bill, the Families of Fallen Servicemembers First Act, which authorizes the payment of military death gratuities in the event of a government shutdown, was enacted through the 2019 Department of Defense Appropriations bill. During the previous government shutdowns, grieving families were denied these vital payments. Thanks to the Families of Fallen Servicemembers Act, this will never happen again.
I take great pride in representing the brave men and women of the United States military, as well as their families, and believe there is no greater responsibility in Congress than to make sure those who put on the uniform are taken care of, both during and after active duty service.
If you know someone who would benefit from our assistance, please encourage them to contact my district offices:

Sincerely,
Gerald E. Connolly
Member of Congress
