U.S. Senator Jerry Moran, who is the lead Republican of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee, releases a statement recognizing Memorial Day. Senator Moran says he recently had the honor to present an American flag to a World War II Kansas veteran and thank him for his service. He says this Memorial Day, he wants to take time to honor fallen service members.

Senator Moran recently introduced the Love Lives On Act, which allows the spouses of deceased service members to retain certain survivor benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense, if they remarry before the age of 55. He also recently led the introduction and passage of a resolution to recognize the 50th anniversary of the homecoming of prisoners of war from Vietnam.
