Friends, I hope you are taking a moment to show love and gratitude to the veterans in your life today – and if you are a service member or veteran who is reading this, I want to sincerely thank you for your service. I am remembering my Papa Eddie, who immigrated from Mexico and proudly served with the U.S. Army in World War II …
And my dad, who also served in the Army before settling down in Las Vegas and raising our family …
But this day needs to be about more than gratitude and remembrance – because quite frankly, those who have served and sacrificed for our country deserve a lot more than that. That’s why I’ve spent my time in the Senate working to ensure our veterans can access the benefits and resources they earned in their service. Whether in Nevada or across the country, they deserve our support. I’ve worked on bipartisan legislation to expand veterans’ access to physical and mental health care, employment programs, housing assistance, education opportunities, claims assistance, and more. I’m especially proud to have helped develop and secure funding for the North Las Vegas Veterans & Community Resource Center, a first-of-its-kind facility, opened in 2022, that not only connects veterans and their families with the services and benefits they’ve earned but also creates connection and brings the community together.
Our country can never truly repay our veterans and their families for the sacrifices they’ve made to protect our country and our freedoms. But I promise to continue working each day in the Senate to honor their service and deliver on the benefits they have earned. If you are a service member or veteran in need of support, please never hesitate to reach out to my office, and check out these resources my team and I have put together to assist you. Thank you, and happy Veterans Day. ¡La lucha sigue! The fight continues! Catherine A personal note from Catherine Cortez Masto: I am the product of my parents’ American dream: the granddaughter of Mexican and Italian immigrants, the first generation in my family to graduate college, the first woman elected U.S. senator from Nevada and first Latina senator in the entire country. I have always believed that if you’re willing to work hard and play by the rules, you should have every opportunity to succeed. That’s what I’m fighting for in the Senate – for everyone to have the opportunity to pursue their version of the American dream. Will you help power that fight and end the Trump era for good with a donation today?
