SPECIAL EDITION of the Tiffany Telegram: Memorial Day Weekend
Dear Friend,
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.
For many, Memorial Day in America is personal. It is a day of remembrance to the grandfathers, grandmothers, aunts, uncles, moms, dads, sons, and daughters who paid the ultimate sacrifice so that others may live.
Not only today, but every day, we pay homage to those who have given up so much for the freedoms we cherish and the nation we call home. We remember and honor the brave heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice fighting for our flag, our values, and our way of life – for without their sacrifice, our stars and stripes would not be waving proud.
While we can never fully repay our veterans and the families of fallen service members, we can ensure that they are remembered, honored, and never forgotten. In doing that, it is my duty as your representative in Congress to make certain that our veterans are receiving the best care and benefits, they are entitled to.
If you or someone you know is having trouble receiving benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), my Wausau district office is just a phone call away at (715) 298-9344. They stand ready to help! Year to date, we have assisted nearly 200 constituents with their casework requests, ranging from help with the VA, Social Security Administration, Internal Revenue Service, and more.
The debt of gratitude we owe to our veterans, fallen heroes, and their loved ones is a debt that we should remember not only on Memorial Day, but every day. So, take time this weekend to reflect and honor those who courageously gave their lives for each and every one of us.
If you happen to be in Antigo this weekend, I will be at the Memorial Day Parade to pay homage to our fallen soldiers. I hope to see you there!
Have a safe Memorial Day weekend, and thanks again for starting your weekend off with us.
Sincerely,
Tom Tiffany
Member of Congress
