U.S. Navy 250th Year
This year the United States Navy celebrates its 250th Anniversary. Our brave men and women of the US Navy have been protecting our shores and projecting American power since before we became a nation. We all owe them our respect and gratitude for their tremendous service to our nation. The picture above is from a few weeks ago when I visited the USS Constitution at anchor in Boston. The Constitution is one of the oldest Naval Ships still floating in the world!
This Saturday in Greenville, I’ll be speaking the Veterans Memorial Ceremony on the 250 Anniversaries of the Army, Navy, and Marines. The Ceremony starts at 12:15 pm at the 9-11 Memorial at Hwy 76 & Parkview. I hope to see you there!
Capitol Meeting
[see featured photo above]On Wednesday I met with UW-Madison Student Lander Levers about public health reporting standards. Lander serves on the Student Government of UW-Madison. In my role as Chairman of the Committee on Colleges and Universities I like to hear from students on issues that affect the UW. Thank you for stopping by Lander!
