This week, Congressman Vince Fong (CA-20) welcomed veterans from the Central Valley Honor Flight and Kern County Honor Flight to Washington, D.C., ensuring their trips continued as planned despite the ongoing government shutdown.
Fong took steps to allow hundreds of veterans to visit the nation’s capital and see memorials dedicated in their honor. During the visit, Central Valley Honor Flight veterans were greeted by Speaker Mike Johnson on the House Floor.
“It is always an honor to welcome the pillars of our community – our nation’s heroes – to Washington, D.C.,” said Congressman Fong. “As someone who has served as a guardian and participated in numerous Honor Flights before being elected to Congress, it was important to me that, regardless of political gridlock, our veterans received the recognition they deserve. I’m grateful to Speaker Mike Johnson for taking the time to make our veterans feel extra special, and to Congressman David Valadao for joining me in welcoming the Kern County Honor Flight.”
