Today, I rise to honor our Veteran of the Month, Daniel Avegalio, a marine who served bravely in Operation Iraqi Freedom not once but three times. Daniel's dedication to our country is a testament to the spirit of American service. From Pettis County, Daniel has not only served his country in uniform but continues to serve by guiding fellow veterans in their life after the military. His commitment shines through his work with the Sedalia Military Affairs Committee and his educational leadership as a George W. Bush Presidential Center Scholar. Today, he furthers his impact with Western Governors University, helping military members transition to civilian life. Daniel represents the best of us, the best of America. His sacrifice and ongoing commitment to his fellow servicemen and -women exemplify the enduring American values of loyalty, service, and community, for which I thank Daniel. ____________________

How dare they. How dare they conflate the names of two great people: Nelson Mandela and Rosa Parks--books about these heroes--and conflate them about books about sexual promiscuity of our children. How dare they. I am starting to see in my…
