SUPPORTING MILITARY FAMILIES
(Mr. VINDMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. VINDMAN. Mr. Speaker, today, we celebrate a victory for military
families. After introducing my bipartisan Support Military Families
Act, the administration has heeded our call and granted an exemption to
the return to in-person work order.
This is a massive win for patriotic military families who all serve
together, ensuring that they have flexibility, stability, and the
support they deserve. When we strengthen military families, we
strengthen our national security.
I am grateful to the bipartisan group of legislators who stood with
me, and I will give a special shout-out to my colleagues from the
Commonwealth, Congressman Rob Wittman and Congresswoman Jennifer
Kiggans, for their support in getting this across the finish line.
When we work together, we deliver results. Today, we did just that
for our military families.
