A Message from Senator Bill Dodd
Dear Neighbor,
This month we celebrated Memorial Day, honoring American military veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of freedom. Let us keep these brave men and women in mind throughout the year. They are among the more than one million soldiers, sailors and fliers who gave their lives in armed conflicts since the birth of the nation.
In the Capitol, I have been working on legislation to provide critical services for constituents such as wildfire protection and early childhood education. My thoughts have also turned to veterans and their families. I advanced a resolution this month supporting a federal effort to restore the crumbling Mare Island Naval Cemetery. My hope is the final resting place for hundreds who served their country can be repaired and respectfully maintained forever.
