DC's lack of voting representation in Congress is felt more by the women and men that serve our Arm Forces, and those that ultimately pay the highest price for our freedom. They serve with honor all over the world defending freedom, and come to the realization that in many ways they come home from defending the freedom they don't have.
Please join me, veterans, elected officials, activists, and others as we gather at the World War II Memorial-Ceremonial Plaza to honor DC's fallen heroes/sheroes this Memorial Day.
Thank you

Elected officials, activists, and community leaders pay tribute to DC's fallen heroes and sheroes on Memorial Day, Monday, May 29, 2017
As we remember the men and women who gave their lives while serving our country's armed forces, let's make sure America remembers the men and women from the District of Columbia who served with honor, and died for their country.
Sadly, while these men and women fought and died for our freedom all over the world, here we treat them like second class citizens by denying them full representation in their national legislature.

1750 Independence Ave. SW, Washington, D.C.
