Today, we recognize and honor the women who have answered the call to serve our nation. On Women Veterans Recognition Day, we thank the brave women who have served in every branch of the United States Armed Forces and whose dedication, sacrifice, and leadership have strengthened our military and our communities. Michigan is home to thousands of women veterans whose service and commitment continue long after they leave active duty. We are grateful for their courage and the example they set for future generations. Thank you for your service and sacrifice. #WomenVeteransRecognitionDay #WomenVeterans #Veterans #MilitaryService #HonorOurVeterans #MichiganVeterans #ThankAVeteran #USMilitary #WomenWhoServe

Michigan Drain Commissioners were in Lansing today, and I had the pleasure of presenting Livingston County Drain Commissioner Brian Jonckheere with a framed copy of a recent Pipeline Magazine article highlighting Livingston County’s Septage Receiving Station and its role in transforming wastewater handling in Michigan. Since opening in 2007, the facility has kept more than 413 million gallons of untreated septic waste out of local waterways. Thank you to Brian Jonckheere, who has served Livingston County since 1996, and to his dedicated staff for their years of service protecting public health and our environment. #LivingstonCounty #Michigan #Infrastructure #PublicHealth #CleanWater #WastewaterManagement #EnvironmentalProtection #LocalGovernment #DrainCommissioner #CommunityLeadership #WaterQuality #ProtectOurWater #MichiganInfrastructure
