Already, in the first eight months of the 110th Congress, the new majority has followed through with our pledge to honor the nations commitment to our veterans, stated Rep. Hoyer. "For the first time in years the Congress has provided the VA with the requisite funding to fulfill our nations obligation to Americas servicemen and women, their families, and our veterans. These proud men and women to which we owe so much have fulfilled their duties bravely and honorably, and they deserve nothing less than the support of a nation that recognizes the heroic deeds they have undertaken to protect and promote the freedoms all Americans enjoy."________________________________________________________________________

This past Saturday, October 27th, our nation observed the 85th annual Navy Day. This is an important time to acknowledge the hard work done by the members of the U.S. Navy, as well as the inspiring actions taken by those who serve at the naval bases in our area - Patuxent River Naval Air Systems Command, Indian Head Surface Warfare Center, and the Special Communications Requirements Facility at St. Inigoes. I would like to take the observation of Navy Day to salute their efforts and to acknowledge the vital roles and important military capabilities performed at these three facilities.________________________________________________________________________
