“It is an honor to recognize these men and women, nominated by their family and friends, who answered the call to serve their country,” said Senator Helming. “Each veteran’s story is unique. But there is one common theme. When they completed their military service, they didn’t hang up their uniforms and say, ‘My service is done.’ They asked, ‘What more can I do to help others?’ They went on to serve their communities, their neighbors, and their fellow veterans. God bless our veterans and military families.”
