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!!

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.

Today is the 78th anniversary of International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Allies worked together during World War II and liberated the survivors of Auschwitz on this day in 1945. We remember the victims and honor our Veterans and Allies for their service.
