This Veterans’ Day, U.S. Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock issued a message honoring those who have served in the nation’s military. The son of a World War II veteran, he thanked the more than 700,000 veterans who call Georgia home.
“Behind every uniform is a person, a neighbor, a loved one, somebody's son, somebody's daughter, someone who took on extraordinary responsibility and risk on behalf of us all,” Senator Warnock said. “We live in the shelter of their sacrifice, and we must never take that gift for granted.”
Georgia has the sixth-largest active-duty military population in the country.
