Tim Walberg: “It affects your independence?”

On this upcoming National Hire a Veteran Day, I encourage employers across our district to consider the unmatched value veterans bring to their organizations.

From his courageous work as a Sea Devil helping to save the lives of downed pilots, to his decades of service protecting his community in the Riverview Police Force, Patrick has demonstrated unwavering dedication, courage, and sacrifice.

I commend him for his service, which serves as an inspiration to us all.

It also prioritizes investment in the forces and capabilities needed to strengthen deterrence and improve military readiness to maintain a strong U.S. posture.
