Hudson Pays Tribute to Veterans
CONCORD, N.C. – Today U.S. Representative Richard Hudson (NC-08), Fort Bragg’s Congressman, released the following statement in recognition of Veterans Day on November 11, 2017:
“America will continue to be the greatest nation on Earth because of the sacrifices of brave men and women in uniform. We owe a debt of gratitude to our service members, both active duty and retired, and this Veterans Day is a time for us to recommit ourselves to upholding the promises we made to them. I will continue to strive to do my part. To the members of the United States Armed Forces, past and present, thank you for your service. May God bless our troops, and may God continue to bless the United States of America.”
In recognition of Veterans Day, Rep. Hudson is attending several events across the district to pay tribute to retired service members, including a WWII Veterans Medal Presentation, a Veterans Support Concert in Southern Pines, the Annual Veterans Day Ceremony in Spring Lake, the Facebook Veterans Small Business Boost in Fayetteville, the Southern Pines Veterans Day Parade, and others. He is also leading a special veterans presentation at UNC Charlotte as part of their Military Appreciation Football Game.
This year alone, the House of Representatives has passed 45 bills to support our veterans – 14 of which passed this week. Eight of those bills have been signed into law – including ones toclean up the bureaucracy at the VA, improve job-training programs and opportunities, expand and improve the GI Bill, and streamline disability benefits claims.
As a voice for veterans, taking care of these retired service members and their families is one of Rep. Hudson’s top responsibilities. As always, Rep. Hudson’s office stands ready to assist every veteran in our district with problems they are having with the VA or a federal agency. If a veteran in the 8th district needs assistance, please contact our office in Concord at (704) 786-1612 or our office in Fayetteville at (910) 997-2070.
