Congressman Norcross

Our servicemembers put their lives on the line to keep us safe and free. These brave men and women raised their hands to serve something greater than themselves: their country. When they complete their service, they are owed the benefits they earned and were promised by our grateful nation. I am disgusted that the Trump Administration has fired thousands of veterans and made cuts to their earned benefits. Our veterans made sacrifices for their country.

Israel holds a special place not only in our nation’s network of allies but also in human history. It is a state defined by thousands of years of struggle, the resiliency of its people, and an enduring belief that the unspeakable tragedy of the Holocaust must never happen again. Last month, I went on a bipartisan congressional visit to Israel. The U.S.-Israel relationship is critical to protecting and strengthening democracy and our shared interests in the region.

Thursday, April 28, 2022, came and went without much fanfare. Unlike other commemorative days, there were no grand speeches about patriotism and sacrifice, no neighborhood BBQs, not even a mattress sale. April 28th is Workers’ Memorial Day, an opportunity to commemorate working people across this country, particularly those who were killed, disabled, or badly injured on the job.
