Friends,
This Veterans Day, we honor and recognize the sacrifices of Missouri’s returned soldiers.

Our veterans deserve the best healthcare, education, and housing — and in Congress, I pledge to do my part to make that happen.
To all Missouri veterans and their families, thank you for your service.
