LODI – Today, Rep. Josh Harder (CA-09) joined active duty servicemembers, Valley veterans, and dozens of families to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Harder shared remarks about his personal connection to today’s events, the ongoing impact of fallen servicemembers’ sacrifices, and efforts to support past and present members of our armed forces.
California’s 9th Congressional District alone is home to nearly 30,000 veterans, and more than 160,000 active duty servicemembers call California their home. As a fifth-generation resident of the Valley whose grandfathers served in the armed forces, Harder is committed to ensuring servicemembers, veterans, and their families have the resources and support they have earned.
Harder was joined by representatives from local Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) posts, American Legion posts, and local elected officials.
