Today, and every day, I join Virginians across the Commonwealth in honoring the generations of Americans who have answered the call to serve with extraordinary courage, dedication, and professionalism. Virginia is home to hundreds of thousands of Veterans, active-duty service members, and military families who know the weight of that sacrifice and the enduring meaning of service.

On Veterans Day, we renew our commitment to making sure that those who have served have our strongest possible support and can access the healthcare, resources, and job opportunities they’ve earned. We are also reminded of the families who stand beside our veterans, making sacrifices of their own, and providing the support and encouragement that help those in uniform transition back to civilian life.

To every Veteran, and to every military family represented across Virginia, thank you. Your service matters. Your sacrifices matter. And your future here in Virginia matters. Our Commonwealth and our country are forever indebted to you.

Congratulations Mr. Harris!

Sam Harris was 30 when he went to prison but he had never voted because at the time, he said, he didn’t think his vote counted.

It’s Election Day in the Commonwealth! I voted early, but YOU can vote today.
