Veterans

Congressman Tom Tiffany (WI-07) announced the following key legislative initiatives for Wisconsin’s Seventh District signed in to law this year. Remembering our local veteran heroes: The United States Post Offices in New Richmond and Neillsville will be renamed in honor of Captain Harmon, Private Peirson, and Corporal Red Cloud, who courageously made the ultimate sacrifice serving our country during World War II and the Korean War. Congressman Tiffany introduced H.R. 8217 and H.R. 8218 earlier this year, and both pieces of legislation were signed in to law through year-end legislative action.

Whether it’s President Biden falsely claiming that Republicans will “make inflation worse” or former President Barack Obama traveling to the Midwest to say that Republicans are “not interested in solving problems,” I want to set the record straight.

NEW RICHMOND – Congressional efforts to rename the post office at 430 South Knowles Ave. in New Richmond after half-brothers and World War II veterans Capt. Robert C. Harmon and Pvt. John R. Peirson have been rejuvenated.

The entire Wisconsin Congressional delegation came together Thursday to introduce the Hmong Congressional Gold Medal Act to honor the distinguished service of Hmong individuals who fought alongside American troops throughout the Vietnam War.

If I know one thing to be true, we are home of the free because of the brave. This weekend, as many of us take advantage of the long-awaited warm weather that is finally upon us after a lingering winter through backyard barbeques and weekend family trips, we have a special edition of the Telegram lined up for you to honor our brave fallen heroes, veterans, and their loved ones.
