Levin (D-CA-49) 05/28/2022: Twitter thread – “On this and every Memorial Day weekend, I am deeply honored and humbled to stand with you to pay tribute to the sacrifices of those Americans who have laid down their lives in service to this great nation. 1/7 For me, there's no higher calling then honoring the courage and bravery of our fallen heroes. As the grandson of a World War II veteran, I am deeply grateful for American service members around the world who have dedicated their lives to keeping our country safe and free. 2/7 More than one million Americans have given their lives on battlefields seared into our history. Before they went to war, these American heroes were first a son, or daughter, a spouse, a parent, a brother or sister, a neighbor, or a friend. 3/7 Nothing replaces the anguish of losing someone so special — but our Fallen and our Missing in Action will never be forgotten by a profoundly grateful nation. 4/7 The need to continue to care for our veterans and their families will remain a top priority of mine for as long as I have the honor to serve in Congress. My staff and I will continue to work in a bipartisan way to assist and deliver. No veteran should go hungry or homeless. 5/7 Our next major effort is to make sure that we are truly taking care of our Iraq and Afghanistan veterans who were exposed to burn pits and have had health issues as a result. 6/7 Thank you again to all the military families and those who greatly support them in our district and around the country. God bless and have a good weekend. END”
