Continued Commitment to Our Veterans
Today’s Wreaths Across America ceremonies reminded me of the profound sacrifices our veterans have made—and continue to make—for our nation. Their courage and commitment deserve our deepest gratitude.
Last month, I had the honor of joining Secretary Jon Santiago reading with students at Beeman Elementary, an effort organized by former American Legion Commander Mark Nestor and Cape Ann Veteran Services to connect veterans with our youth.
Secretary Santiago also paid homage at Gloucester’s waterfront Veterans memorials, honoring those who served and sacrificed.
As he steps down from his post this fall, I want to thank him for his dedicated service and leadership in his role, and for his continued commitment to our veterans throughout the Commonwealth.
Thank you to everyone at the Massachusetts Executive Office of Veterans Services, and to our local veteran service partners, who work each day to ensure the legacy of our veterans is remembered and honored.
