I'm so honored (esp. as a freshman legislator) to carry the #Veterans Omnibus bill in the MN Senate!
It IS moving as a stand alone bill, something several of us have been working on for weeks, including @KariDziedzic & @epmurphymn.
It will hit the Senate floor Thursday!!

The U.S. invasion of Iraq 20 years ago evokes complicated and often bitter emotions, and questions of whether the war was worth it sparked a wide range of responses from U.S. veterans and Iraqi citizens.

“Shock and awe” strikes on Iraq began 20 years ago today.

Coalition forces would invade the next day.

Today we honor the brave Marines who raised the American flag on Mount Suribachi after four days of intense fighting on Iwo Jima.

"Iwo Jima symbolizes the grit it took to endure against all odds. It makes me proud to be a Marine." - Paul R., U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Col.
