Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander

For 251 years and 1 day (!), the United States Marines have had America’s back in the air, on land, and at sea, and never lost their nerve. Thank you and happy birthday to the U.S Marine Corps. I’ll always fight to make sure our country keeps its promises to those who served – Semper Fi.

Today, let’s remember that there is a lot more that unites us than divides us in the United States of America. 🇺🇸 Proud to stand alongside my colleagues as we honor America’s veterans.

Honored and full of gratitude to join people from across New Hampshire at our State Veterans Cemetery in Boscawen to place American flags on the graves of those who served our country. Row after row, each flag marks a life given in service to something greater than ourselves: a son or daughter, a parent, a neighbor who answered the call. This Veterans Day, we honor everyone who has worn our nation's uniform, remember those we've lost, and recommit to keeping faith with our veterans and their families. Today and every day. 🇺🇸

Today, on Veterans Day, we honor the very best among us: the brave men and women who answered the call to serve our country. As a Navy veteran and the proud daughter of a Navy veteran, I know that freedom isn’t free. Our veterans have always had our backs. And we have a sacred obligation to have theirs. Our veterans remind us what it means to love this country, to serve something greater than ourselves, and to stand united as Americans. We are the land of the free because we are the home of the brave.

Secretary Hegseth cannot answer the most basic questions that every American deserves answers to from our government. He has no business serving as our Secretary of Defense.

Enough is enough.

Congress is officially back in session, and I’m ready to get to work. Affordability and accountability have got to roll together, and that’s what I’m focused on. Super excited to welcome and to work together with so many new members from across the country!

For 28 years, Woodbury School in Salem has brought generations of students and veterans together to honor the men and women who have served our country. I was deeply moved to join this year's ceremony alongside fellow veterans, military families, and students who shared heartfelt essays, music, and tributes.   Thank you to the Woodbury School, Cindi Woodbury, and the good people of Salem for teaching our students that honoring our veterans means carrying forward their legacy of service.

I learned to read at Birch Hill Elementary. And on Friday, I came home. 🇺🇸 The Birch Hill Lions put on a Veterans Day ceremony I'll never forget: songs, essays, and a Walk of Honor where every veteran got a high five down the hallway. Watching these kids honor our veterans with so much heart reminded me that the spirit of service starts early, and it's alive and well in Nashua. Thank you, Principal McCallum, teachers, and staff. And to every veteran: thank you. 🙏

You don't have to wait until you're old enough to vote to make a difference in your community. It was so inspiring to join NH Civics' We the Future Student Civics Summit at Saint Anselm College to hear from young Granite Staters about the issues that matter to them.   From asking tough questions to listening across differences, these students are already putting democracy into action. Our future is in good hands when young people are willing to show up, speak out, and take responsibility for the communities they call home.

A cleaner, more affordable energy future is taking shape right here in Jaffrey! Loved celebrating the start of this use of public land: a community solar farm, which transforms a former landfill into a source of clean energy and lower electricity bills for hundreds of Granite State households. This is what happens when local leaders, New Hampshire businesses, and neighbors come together to deliver real relief. Thank you to @revisionsolar, Blue Haven Solar, and the amazing people of the Town of Jaffrey who made this possible.

Ski season is right around the corner in the Granite State. So great to spend the afternoon at @patspeak in Henniker for their annual Oktoberfest and Ski & Snowboard Sale, celebrating the start of another winter season with local families and outdoor enthusiasts. Thank you to the Pats Peak team for keeping this New Hampshire tradition going strong!⛷️

When the alarm sounds, Keene's firefighters run in. Grateful to Chief Greg Seymour, Captain Jeremy LaPlante, and the entire team at the Keene Fire Department for talking with me about firefighter readiness, health, and safety. Firefighters and first responders have our backs. I'll always have theirs.

Gloria Timmons was the ultimate Nashuan. There was no task too big or too small, and she always showed up for her community. One year after her passing, her legacy of service, kindness, and bringing people together continues to inspire me and our entire city. Nashua is a better place because of Gloria Timmons, and we miss her dearly. Thank you, Dan and the Nashua Independent, for putting together this beautiful way to honor her memory.💜 Read the article and watch the full video here: nashuaindependent.com/remebe…

To the Granite State Ambassadors: thank you for showing the world the best of who we are as a state. I cannot wait to see what we can do together in the 30 years ahead.🇺🇸

Every time I fly home from our nation's capital and walk off the plane at MHT, there they are: those iconic green shirts. That's how I know I'm home. For 30 years, the Granite State Ambassadors have shown the world what makes New Hampshire so special: our people. They've trained thousands of volunteers, who give tens of thousands of hours and welcome more than 100,000 visitors every year. You'll find them at our airport, welcome centers, craft fairs and agricultural fairs, and at my favorite store in our state, the State House gift shop (check it out! nh-state-house-visitor-cente…). It was a joy to celebrate 30 years of service. Thank you for asking "How can I help?" 100,000 times a year, and for making New Hampshire the best place on earth to visit and call home.

Our veterans have served our country with extraordinary courage and sacrifice. We have a responsibility to keep our promises to them. So happy to join Ralph Mecheau and local veterans at T-BONES in Concord for community conversations about improving access to VA health care, protecting earned benefits, and making housing more affordable. As a member of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee, I'll keep fighting to ensure every Granite State veteran receives the care, benefits, and support they've earned.
