Press Release

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

"I was just stunned by how beautiful this place is.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

It was an incredible investment, but it's because everyone was a part of it. So much of this was because of local support, if we didn't have that we couldn't have made the case to Veterans Affairs that this should be funded.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

You've got to respect not only (veterans') service, but their entire lives. People should be near where they grew up, their families, their own memories.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

A nation that forgets who served forgets what they stand for. You've got to remember we don't just value our veterans on Veterans Day and Memorial Day. You've got to do it every single day."
