Arizona Congressional Delegation Celebrates Veterans Day

Veterans Day is here again, and Arizona's Congressional delegation is thanking our nation's heroes on X (formerly Twitter).

"Today, and every day, remember to THANK A VETERAN! I’m proud to represent tens-of-thousands of veterans in #AZ08. Happy Veterans Day!" tweeted the outgoing Representative Debbie Lesko (R-AZ).

Similarly, Representative Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ) said, "This Veterans Day, let us honor and recognize the resilience, dedication, and sacrifice of our veterans. Their commitment to service is the reason we can enjoy the freedoms we cherish. Proud to represent over 70,000 veterans in #AZ06."

"Happy Veterans Day, Arizona. Every U.S. veteran makes the same promise to defend our nation and today we honor that commitment. Thank you for your service and for defending the freedoms we hold dear," tweeted Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ).

Senator Kyrsten Sinema's (I-AZ) Veterans Day statement was similar to Sen. Kelly's, her post saying, "As a nation, we’re forever indebted to the men and women who served to keep us safe and secure. This Veterans Day, we renew our commitment to honor, support, and protect our servicemembers – both overseas and here at home."

"This #VeteransDay, we honor all who have selflessly served our country in our armed forces. Freedom is not free, and we owe a great debt to those who have answered the call. To our veterans: Thank you. Your sacrifices will never be forgotten," tweeted Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ).

Kari Lake's (R) message was simpler, reading, "Happy Veterans Day! Thank you to all of you who served our country so valiantly. We love you!"

Representative Eli Crane (R-AZ) did not make a personal statement, instead responding to a tweet by former Pentagon official Elbridge Colby "spot on."

Colby said, "Today, we honor America's veterans. That means recognizing and thanking them for their service and sacrifice. It also means recommitting ourselves to only sending America's forces to fight if it is truly necessary and in our great nation's key interests to do so."
