Today, I met with a number of ambassadors from Africa.
These members of the Diplomatic Corps joined me to talk about strengthening U.S. ties with the African continent.

With so many natural resources and a young population ready to harness it, African countries are primed for partnership. I am glad we could have a fruitful conversation and look forward to more discussions in the future.

I cannot think of a better way to celebrate Veteran’s Day, than by passing the Take Care of America's Veterans Act.

This tremendous package which I cosponsored, will give veterans better access to healthcare, strengthen benefits, and reform outdated and bureaucratic processes at the VA that cause delays.

This package also contains the Major Richard Star Act, a priority for numerous Hoosiers and veterans in our district. I am especially glad to support this provision as a part of a comprehensive package to provide veterans overarching support.

Now it’s time for the Senate to pass this bill and deliver for our veterans.

To every veteran who has served our country and defended our freedom, thank you.

Today, I spoke on the House Floor about riding aboard the replica Vietnam-era gun truck “Brutus” in yesterday’s National Veterans Parade.

I also reflected on my time in Vietnam and the many heroes I served alongside. Our veterans deserve our sincere gratitude for their service and sacrifice.

I hope bringing Brutus to Washington, D.C., offered a small but meaningful tribute to all our veterans.

They truly deserve it.

@RepJimBaird (R-IN) honors veterans ahead of Veterans Day: "Those I served alongside and all of the veterans deserve the sincere gratitude when they return home. They deserve it today and every day."

[House Committee on Veterans' Affairs @HouseVetAffairs]

THE MISSION AHEAD: The House is back in session, it’s time to pass the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act. 🇺🇸

National Veterans Parade 🇺🇸

[Congressman Jim Baird @RepJimBaird]

Today is the National Veterans Parade.

I’m beyond honored to be riding inside the Vietnam gun truck, Brutus, a replica of the gun trucks I fought in during the Vietnam War.

Thank you to all the veterans who have served our country.

[Congressman Jim Baird @RepJimBaird]

The Vietnam-era gun truck replica “Brutus” is coming to Washington, D.C., for the National Veterans Parade on November 8!

As a convoy commander in Vietnam, I saw the courage of gun truck crews firsthand. These men saved many American lives, including my own. Ahead of Veterans Day, this tribute honors their service and sacrifice.

[Senator Todd Young @SenToddYoung]

Last week, our team joined @RepJimBaird, officials from the U.S. Treasury Department, local chambers of commerce, and @PurdueResFound for a tour of @Saab's manufacturing facility in West Lafayette.

Saab’s work supports good-paying Hoosier jobs, strengthens America’s defense industrial base, and is another way Indiana is contributing to our national security.

[Congressman Jim Baird @RepJimBaird]

This Military Family Appreciation Month, I want to thank military families across Indiana and our nation.

As a combat veteran, I know how much it means to have the love and support of family back home. For every birthday apart, every move, every night spent worrying, and every homecoming you’ve waited for, you have my heartfelt thanks. 🇺🇸💙

Behind the powerful supply chain helping feed America are hundreds of Hoosiers whose work helps keep food in grocery stores across the country.

Read my op-ed in the @JournalReview about my recent visit to Pace Dairy in Crawfordsville, IN.

Assistant Secretary Chris Pilkerton visited Saab, Inc. in West Lafayette, Indiana with @RepJimBaird to demonstrate how investment from companies that complete CFIUS review can strengthen U.S. national security and local economies.

The visit was another opportunity for the Office of Investment Security to highlight Treasury’s Strategic Vendor Program and Investment Security Technology Initiative. @Saab supports America’s warfighters and the defense industrial base, working with more than 1,200 domestic suppliers across 41 states.

Glad to join @USTreasury at Saab in West Lafayette to see firsthand how Indiana workers are helping build the aircraft that support our military.

Proud to see the important work happening right in our district!
