Barbara Mikulski: “This was meant to be an opportunity for veterans.”

Your leadership in placing the Women's Suffrage National Monument on the National Mall will expand our Nation's understanding of American women's leadership.

We are safe, we are secure, and we are undeterred.

Without a monument to the great women of American history who paved the way for us to fully participate in and shape our democracy, the telling of the American story on our National Mall is not yet complete.

When constituents come to you, make sure you do not promise results but promise best efforts, that you'll give it your best.
