Why It’s “Women Veterans Recognition Day” – Not “Women Veterans Day”
On June 12th, we celebrate women Veterans and honor their incredible contributions, but it’s important to recognize the true meaning of the date and its official name.
June 12, 1948 marked a turning point in history: The signing of the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act granted women the right to serve as permanent, regular members of the U.S. Armed Forces. That’s why we honor Women Veterans Recognition Day.
Today, and every day, let’s celebrate their service, remember their history, and continue to uplift their stories.

Great to be in Sedalia to announce improvements to Clarendon Road, a critical part of the continued growth and expansion of the @MoStateFair.
I appreciate the work of our state agencies, local leaders, and @sfccmo in helping us find a solution that keeps this road open for public use, while also making important safety improvements for the next generation of fairgoers, exhibitors, and families.
Good luck to all the young ladies participating in the Miss Missouri pageant this week.
I had the pleasure of spending time with the contestants today in Mexico. Proud to have this group of women representing our state.
God bless these faith leaders who serve their communities and the state of Missouri each day. We were honored to host them at the Mansion today for fellowship and prayer.
The road to @LA28 starts in St. Louis 🇺🇸🚨
The 2028 U.S. Olympic Team Trials - Marathon will take place on March 25, 2028, where six athletes will earn their spots on @TeamUSA for the Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles. 👏
We enjoyed visiting the Boys and Girls Club of Jefferson City yesterday to distribute Mansion on a Mission treats.
@GovMikeKehoe and I are proud to provide local students with snacks for the summer as they learn, grow and thrive in this program.
We enjoyed visiting Justice Furniture in Lebanon this week.
@GovMikeKehoe and I are proud to support this @BuyMissouri business that produces quality, Missouri-made furniture.
Claudia and I visited CNH Reman in Springfield and saw firsthand how Missouri companies are delivering real value to American manufacturing. By remanufacturing critical equipment components, this company is helping farmers, manufacturers, and businesses keep operations running sustainably and efficiently by reducing expenses and extending the life of their essential machinery.
That kind of innovation strengthens our economy, supports Missouri jobs, and keeps our businesses competitive. Thank you to the CNH Reman team for the warm welcome and for your continued investment in Missouri.
Today, as we celebrate Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women who sacrificed their lives for our freedom.
Let us always remember their courage and never take for granted the liberty they fought for.
Safety reminders for the holiday weekend:
✔️ Buckle up - every trip
✔️ Wear a life jacket near or on the water
✔️ Slow down and obey traffic laws
✔️ Designate a sober driver
✔️ Never drive or operate a boat impaired

In honor of Beef Month, @GovMikeKehoe and I delivered ground beef and sandwich supplies to the Phelps County Dream Center in Rolla.
We’re proud to support Missouri families with beef from our farm through Mansion on a Mission.
Honored to welcome @VP to Missouri today.
Under the Trump Administration, we are seeing The Golden Age of American manufacturing—and that includes Missouri-made manufacturers like Milbank in Kansas City.
Growth, opportunity, and the American Dream are alive and well in America's heartland.
From giving the Missourians the opportunity to decide the future of our tax code for themselves to protecting core services and investing conservatively and strategically—this session was about keeping our promises and laying a foundation for growth.
And while we may not always agree on every issue, I believe Missourians are best served when leaders show up, work hard, and stay focused on results. Congratulations on another successful legislative session. It has been a honor to work with the 103rd General Assembly.
Today, flags across the state are flown at half-staff in honor of Peace Officers Memorial Day.
Let us never forget the enormous debt we owe to all the fallen peace officers who have given their lives in service of their fellow citizens.
Claudia and I were honored to join the 34th Annual Peace Officers Memorial Service in St. Charles.
It takes courage, commitment, and selflessness to wear the badge each day and run toward the dangers that others flee. We will never forget the fallen.
