Congressman Good Update: Thank You to Virginia’s Veterans

This Veterans Day, I want to express my profound gratitude to all veterans and especially recognize the 45,000 who live in Virginia's 5th District. Every year on November 11, we unite as a nation to celebrate and honor all veterans who selflessly put their lives on the line, fighting for the freedoms that make this the greatest country on Earth. Veterans have made considerable sacrifices serving this nation. We must honor them, and ensure they receive the benefits promised for their noble service.

This week I introduced the Veterans Education is Timeless Act of 2023, a bill that would remove arbitrary expiration dates on education benefits for veterans and their families.

Our veterans and their families deserve to have access to the educational benefits promised to them, no matter when they choose to use them. These programs ease the transition to civilian life by providing vital educational assistance to veterans and their families and help them achieve their career and educational goals.

You can read more about the bill here.

One of my greatest privileges as a congressman is the opportunity to help honor our veterans who did not receive the medals and commendations they earned while serving our country. I presented pins to 14 Vietnam veterans in Louisa this week to honor their sacrifice to our nation.

Thank you to the brave men and women in uniform in Virginia's 5th District and across the United States for your dedicated service to our country.
