Originally known as Armistice Day, a Kansan from Emporia suggested changing the name to Veterans Day to honor veterans of all wars and conflicts. It was made official by Kansas’ own President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Today is a special opportunity to remind the veterans in our lives of how grateful we are for them and to share our appreciation for all they have sacrificed for our nation.
May God bless our servicemembers, our veterans and the United States of America.
🚨The House just passed CM @JerryMoran & @HouseVetAffairs CM @RepBost’s legislation, the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act.
HAPPY VETERANS DAY: The House just passed the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act – a landmark bill that delivers on the promises Congress has made to disabled veterans and Gold Star families.
This historic bill expands affordability, increases VA benefits, and improves healthcare access for 32 million American families.
Freedom is not free. On Veterans Day, we honor the millions of veterans today and throughout history who have fought, and died, to secure freedom and the American way of life.
Thank you to our nation’s veterans, their loved ones, their caregivers and their survivors for their service and sacrifice.

Happy Birthday to the @USMC! We honor the brave men and women who have served and sacrificed for our nation’s freedom as Marines for 251 years. Thank you for your continued service and dedication to our country. Semper-Fi!
It is imperative that Congress pass the Take Care of America's Veterans Act, as veterans, their families, caregivers and survivors cannot wait any longer to receive the benefits they have earned and deserve.

Pleased to have support from the Medical Device Manufacturers Association on both the Veterans STAND Act and the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act. Congress must pass this legislation without delay!

"Behind every delayed piece of veterans’ legislation is an unfulfilled obligation to someone who sacrificed for our nation."
- Sandy Vorhies, U.S. Army veteran and National Commander of @AMVETSHQ on why Congress needs to pass the Take Care of America's Veterans Act as veterans, their families, their caregivers and their survivors cannot wait any longer to receive the care and benefits they have earned through their service and sacrifice to our nation.

For many veterans, service dogs are essential to navigating daily life.
The Take Care of America’s Veterans Act expands access to these life-changing companions by establishing a grant program for nonprofit organizations that raise and train service dogs for veterans.

Happy 251st Birthday to @USNavy! Thank you to all of the sailors who protected our nation’s freedom since 1775 and continue to today. Forged by the Sea!
Millions of veterans, survivors, caregivers and @DeptVetAffairs staff members would benefit from the passage of the Take Care of America's Veterans Act, including 200,000 veterans across southern Arizona.
Read from one Tucson area surviving spouse and @MilitaryOfficer member who is urging Congress to pass this critical legislation to deliver results for veterans and their families in Arizona and across the country.

“The only true threat to earned benefits is continued inaction, where combat-injured retirees keep losing pay they have earned, caregivers cannot return to the workforce, and survivors struggle to rebuild their lives without full and fair compensation for their service member’s sacrifice.” – Lt. Gen. Brian T. Kelly, USAF (Ret.).
Veterans, their families, their caregivers and their survivors cannot continue to wait for the care they have earned and deserve. Congress must keep its promise by passing the Take Care of America's Veterans Act.
