As Mayor, it was an honor to stand alongside the Department of Veterans Affairs in solemn remembrance of our veterans at the Veterans Day Observance. We owe them a debt of gratitude for protecting our freedoms and selflessly serving our nation.

We brought together a 108 year old Navy veteran and a 98 year old Army veteran for some lunch and good conversation at Tumblesalts in North Providence. Somebody get these heroes tickets to the #ArmyNavy game! Roger and Henry coming Friday 6pm on WPRI 12 🇺🇸

Thank you to the St. Mary's Feast Society for hosting the sold out fundraiser luncheon for Honor Flight. And thank you to every one of you that came out and supported Honor Flight and our veterans. It was a great day!

Proud to join HonorFlightRI this morning as they held a ceremony to send off our community’s veterans before boarding their flight to DC! I’m always inspired after hearing their stories of sacrifice and selfless service. We should always be thankful.

Throughout Military Appreciation Month, we extend our deepest thanks to the brave men and women of the US military. Your dedication and courage inspire us every day. 🇺🇸

Most Rhode Islanders know George as a former City of Providence Fire Chief & the founder of @honorflightri. Today, however, he was on Capitol Hill with @llsusa advocating on behalf of patients & fellow cancer survivors. Thanks for your inspiring service to our state George! #LLSAction

On Father’s Day morning our heroes were hosted by the wonderful people Bellavance Beverage Co.. It was a perfect place to gather for the small trip to the airport. Thank you to everyone at Bellavance🇺🇸

Reflection and a salute🇺🇸

Today I voted YES on the #SocialSecurityFairnessAct to repeal the WEP & GPO.    These harmful provisions slash benefits for retired police officers, firefighters, teachers, and government employees — penalizing hard working Americans for their dedication to public service.

On Tuesday, November 19, Secretary Amore and local artist Jennifer Gillooly Cahoon will unveil a new mixed media portrait of Roger Williams. We're so excited for you to see it! #rogerwilliams

Honoring Friedrich St.Florian, Design Architect of the WWII Memorial We mourn the passing of Friedrich St.Florian, the visionary design architect of the WWII Memorial. His timeless design ensures the sacrifices of the Greatest Generation are honored forever. Rest in peace, Sir.

Thursday and Friday this week from 10 am to 1 pm. Please share and pass the word! More hires = opening more space at the Veterans home for America’s heroes. They deserve it!
