Rep. Tonko Veterans Day Statement, Public Schedule

Statement

Congressman Paul Tonko released the following statement in observance of Veterans Day. Please find his public schedule below.

"We owe our way of life to those who have fought for our nation -- from the greatest generation to service members who recently served in Iraq and Afghanistan," said Tonko."It is important that we take today to pause to thank those who have bravely served and we must work each day to support them through every stage of their service and beyond.

"In Washington, I will continue to push legislation that honors the promises made to our troops, including a bill I introduced to posthumously award the Medal of Honor to Albany native and World War I soldier Henry Johnson. Senator Schumer has been successful in the legislation's passage in the Senate and now it is the House of Representatives' turn to honor this American hero."
