Rep. Kelly Cosponsors Bipartisan Resolution Honoring America's Veterans

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- This week, U.S. Representative Mike Kelly (R-PA) co-sponsored a bipartisan resolution introduced by U.S. Representatives Michael Guest (R-MS) and Susie Lee (D-NV) honoring the service and sacrifice of America's veterans ahead of Veterans Day on November 11, 2026.

The resolution recognizes the heroic actions of American veterans who have defended our nation and protected the freedoms enjoyed by generations of Americans. It also calls on the American people to observe Veterans Day in recognition of the courage, dedication, and sacrifices of those who have served in the United States Armed Forces.

"Veterans Day is an opportunity for all Americans to come together and honor the brave men and women who have answered the call to serve our great nation," said Rep. Kelly. "Generations of American service members have made tremendous sacrifices to defend our freedoms and protect our way of life. I am proud to support this bipartisan resolution recognizing their service, and I remain committed to ensuring our veterans receive the recognition, care, and benefits they have earned."

Originally recognized as Armistice Day to commemorate the end of World War I on November 11, 1918, Veterans Day has since become a national observance honoring all Americans who have served in the United States military.

As the nation celebrates its 250th anniversary, the resolution highlights the generations of Americans who have served with distinction, from the battlefields of World War II, Korea, and Vietnam to the Gulf War and the Global War on Terrorism. It also recognizes the continued sacrifices of service members defending American interests around the world today.

The bipartisan resolution is supported by more than 100 cosponsors in the U.S. House of Representatives.
