On Saturday, I had the privilege of hosting more than 200 Rhode Island veterans at a Barbecue and Community Conversation in honor of their extraordinary service on behalf of our nation.
During our discussion, I heard about many of the challenges facing our veteran community – from difficulty finding good-paying work to trouble accessing health care and other benefits. It’s clear that we are still not doing enough to support the heroic individuals who serve our nation in uniform.
This Memorial Day, we must all join together to recommit ourselves to fight for those who have risked everything for us. Our veterans exemplify the finest values our state and our nation have to offer, and we owe them so much.
Veterans and their family members should all consider my office a resource. Whether you’re having troubling accessing housing, health care, VA benefits, or any other services, please give my office a call at 729-5600.
On behalf of the people of the First Congressional District of Rhode Island, I wish all of our veterans a peaceful Memorial Day among family and friends. May God bless you and our brave men and women now serving. And may God continue to bless the United States of America.
Warm Regards,
David Cicilline
Member of Congress
