Our veterans have served this nation bravely and heroically. We owe these men and women an enormous debt of gratitude and respect. To honor our veteran's service, my office has partnered with the Library of Congress Veterans History Project and will be continually recording oral histories from veterans in our community through the year in my Renton, District Office.
Over the last few years, and especially in the past several months, I have seen an extraordinary level of engagement from the American people. In fact, in all my years as a legislator, I have never seen this level of involvement from constituents. This is a promising sign for the vitality of our civic culture and I hope I continue to see this level of participation as we move forward.
