House Honors Military Families and Veterans

DENVER – The House of Representatives passed two resolutions to honor military veterans and their families today.

House Joint Resolution 1021 recognizes and remembers Colorado’s military veterans who served in the Vietnam War and HJR1022 designates the month of November as “Military Family Month.”

“These resolutions acknowledge the difficult sacrifices and bravery of our outstanding service members and their families,” said Rep. Janak Joshi, R-Colorado Springs.  “We thank our veterans for their service and our military families for the tremendous contributions they make in support of our nation's service members.”

“Military families face unique challenges, especially when their loved ones in uniform are deployed, and they meet those challenges with courage, strength, and selflessness,” said Rep. Mark Barker, R-Colorado Springs. “While words are not enough to express our gratitude to members of our military, we honor them this day and every day they selflessly serve to keep this nation both free and safe.”

Both HJR 1021 and 1022 passed unanimously on a voice vote.
