Today, we honor Victory in Europe Day—marking the Allied triumph in WWII. President Trump’s declaration reminds us of the courage, sacrifice, and enduring legacy of the Greatest Generation. May we never forget their fight for freedom.

I continue to hear concerns from Veterans in my district regarding the disastrous complications they're having with Compensation and Pension exams. These exams are critical in providing medical evidence for veteran's benefits claims and they must be conducted properly.

Today I spoke with leadership at both the Veterans Benefits Administration Louisville Regional office as well as the VA Central office to address these concerns.

I will always advocate for the veterans in my district and honor their important service to our nation.

Three years ago today, 13 brave U.S. service members made the ultimate sacrifice at Abbey Gate during the Biden-Harris administrations disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Their courage and dedication to duty will never be forgotten.

Today, we honor their memory and stand with their families, forever grateful for their service to our nation.

Today, we honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our great nation. As we gather with loved ones, let us remember freedom comes at a high cost, paid by heroes who believed in the promise of America. God bless our fallen heroes, and God bless the USA.
