“Honoring our veterans in this way is a longstanding tradition for me that I refuse to give up.” – Rep. Frank Burns

“Honoring our veterans in this way is a longstanding tradition for me that I refuse to give up,” Burns said. “I’ve always respected their service and sacrifice, but the older and wiser I get, the greater my appreciation grows.
“This event serves a dual purpose, as it puts me face-to-face with scores of veterans, enabling me to hear their concerns, answer their questions, and inform them about state programs and services from which they could benefit.”
