As we begin Veterans Month, I’m reflecting on the honor of laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier last year. A powerful reminder that freedom comes at a cost, and that some of our nation’s heroes never made it home. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten. This month and every month, we honor those who answered the call to serve. 🇺🇸

VETERANS FIRST!
Thanks to President Trump, the average claim completion time is down 46%.
80 years ago, victory came at last.
On V-J Day, we honor the Americans who fought across the Pacific, remember those who never came home, and salute the Veterans whose bravery secured victory. 🇺🇸
