Thanks to US Navy veteran @RepJenKiggans for the great conversation about military families!

[Congresswoman Jen Kiggans @RepJenKiggans]

Last week, I welcomed industry leaders, advocates, and community partners to Capitol Hill! I met with @CRESEnergy, @BlueStarFamily, @VAPropaneGas, Coastal Virginia Building Industry Association, and @PhRMA to discuss strengthening our energy future, supporting military families, expanding housing opportunities, and advancing healthcare innovation. Thank you all for stopping by and sharing your perspectives!

[Blue Star Families 🇺🇸 @BlueStarFamily]

Military and veteran family voices matter.

Last week, Blue Star Families chapter leaders met with lawmakers on Capitol Hill to advocate for military families.

Thank you to the lawmakers and staff who took the time to listen.

I love the commitment and passion this daughter of a Navy chief has for this work, and I'm so glad I have her on my @BlueStarFamily GA team. Thank you @chavellez101! #BlueStarImpact

@bfsmith626 @TomPorterDC @BlueStarFamily Thanks Bob! It was great meeting you and Yolanda is very lucky to have you on her team up in Maryland!

A few days ago Sen @MarkWarner worked with our brand new @BlueStarFamily Hampton Roads Chapter on a roundtable to hear about the challenges military families face. Glad he took the time to discuss further efforts to empower our community today! #BlueStarImpact

Now I've been tracking the Capitol Hill rubber band ball issue for years and this is the biggest, seen by @bfsmith626 @chavellez101 @PaulaGMora63648 and me in @RepSarahElfreth's office. @BlueStarFamily #BlueStarImpact

@TomPorterDC @BlueStarFamily Too distracted by the awesome searsucker👏🏽

[Chavelle Zackery @chavellez101]

How to make an impact? Stories. This week @BlueStarFamily has shown me the importance of stories and sharing them. Especially with leaders who can help us along the way, make that change.

Thanks @TomPorterDC and Kaitlynne Yancy for showing how it’s done!

Team Bravo had to get that selfie after our last meeting. Awesome work today telling the @BlueStarFamily story and advocating for our priorities: #MajorRichardaStarAct, military childcare, veteran transitions, and more. #BlueStarImpact

[Tom Porter @TomPorterDC]

It's a lot of hustle by our @BlueStarFamily Maryland and Virginia Chapters for our Capitol Hill fly-in of chapters from across the country! #BlueStarImpact

[Tom Porter @TomPorterDC]

That's @BlueStarFamily Teams Alpha and Bravo getting some nourishment in the Cannon Panera before our next Capitol Hill meetings and @TheMilCoalition Seersucker reception! #BlueStarImpact

[Chavelle Zackery @chavellez101]

LOVE seeing fellow navy connected individuals come together to bring change for our community.

Thank you @RepJenKiggans for taking the time to hear our stories and helping make change.

We enjoyed introducing @RepJenKiggans to @BlueStarFamily's new Hampton Roads Chapter, and ED Paula Moran, serving her military and veteran families. We also discussed military childcare and the need to pass the #MajorRichardStarAct. Thanks Congresswoman! #BlueStarImpact #GoNavy

Pausing in the Cannon Rotunda for a @BlueStarFamily Bravo Team Fly-in update, but why can't someone warn a guy that his nametag is crooked??? #BlueStarImpact

[Tom Porter @TomPorterDC]

@Rep_Walkinshaw represents my Fairfax County, VA area and I was proud to bring in our National Capitol Region @BlueStarFamily Chapter to tell him how they're helping his military and veteran constituents. Thanks, Congressman! #BlueStarImpact
