Washington, DC– Oregon’s Senator Jeff Merkley issued the following statement in recognition of Veterans Day.
“Tomorrow we will honor the men and women who have served our nation in the armed forces.

Veterans Day is a reminder to all Americans of the commitments we need to fulfill to our veterans. To the veterans of Oregon and the United States of America: thank you.”
