At the Normandy Cemetery, our grandson searched for Donna’s uncle’s name who at 21yo perished in battle during the invasion campaign as we took in the enormity of the loss & sacrifice. No words, just soul deep gratitude.
I was asked recently to speak about a subject of great interest to me, the building of the Alcan Highway during WWII by over 10,000 soldiers in 8 months! Veterans' Day is a great day to research & learn about this against all odds feat of grit, courage, endurance, & patriotism.
Remembering my dad, Ed Walker, with love & gratitude today for his WWII service in the U.S. Army as an Alaskan Scout in the Alaskan Combat Intelligence Platoon in the Aleutians. And to all who have served and sacrificed, a grateful nation owes an enduring debt of gratitude.
All those years in Valdez prepared me for this day! This part is fun, driving today isn’t so be careful if you must be on the roads. It’s a good day for a cozy fire & eggnog. That’s where you’ll find me later today.
Congratulations to Ketchikan’s very own Kiera O’Brian who served as my chief of staff while I taught as a resident fellow at @HarvardIOP in 2020. Alaska is proud of you, Kiera!
to represent the vast majority of Alaskans in the middle who appreciate compromise knowing it leads to progress and better representation for all. Best of luck and thank you all, and your families, for stepping up to serve at this critical time.

I heard many stories of combat & survival from my dad who served with Castner's Cutthroats aka the Alaskan Scouts in the Aleutians in WWII. Dad instilled in us a deep respect for our country & for all who valiantly & sacrificially serve to defend our freedom. Happy Veterans Day!
…the very best place to live, work, play, educate our children, and raise our families.
Heidi and I will never give up on Alaska. It has been our truest honor to serve our state in the ways we have. God bless you all, and God bless Alaska!
