Rep. Louie Gohmert (TX-01) released the following statement regarding the 27 World War II veterans who will travel to Washington, D.C. this week to tour the United States Capitol and experience the World War II Memorial:
“These valiant veterans deserve our utmost respect. When Brookshire's gets them all the way to Washington, DC, I want to make sure their experience is worthy of the dedication they have had for our country. For most of them, this will be their one trip to ever see their Capitol, and I want help the Brookshire's team put a smile on their faces when they think about this trip for the rest of their lives. What an honor for me as their servant to get to honor these heroes in Washington.”
