As Yom HaShoah comes to an end, we remember the six million Jewish lives lost during the Holocaust. I saw firsthand the evils perpetrated on a visit to Dachau last week. The world must never forget what happened there and must continue to combat antisemitism everywhere.
In honor of National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service Day flags have been lowered in remembrance of Virginia’s fallen firefighters. We are eternally grateful for the sacrifices made by our brave heroes. Suzanne and I continue to pray for their friends and families.
During Jewish Heritage Month, we embrace and celebrate Virginia’s Jewish community and their history, culture, and contributions.
This week, I visited the Dachau concentration camp in Germany and saw firsthand the evil atrocities of the past. We must never forget.
Yesterday, I signed the state partnership agreement between the Virginia National Guard and the Finnish Ministry of Defense.
It’s a true testament to the strength of our relationship and I have no doubt this partnership will bring greater peace, stability, and opportunity.

While visiting

Today, I was grateful to visit
@RamsteinAirBase
, the largest American community outside the U.S.
I was honored to receive a briefing on operations, tour the base, and thank our men and women in the military.
Virginia’s global economic strength is vital for our national security, and we need to continue to deepen our relationships with our allies. I’m grateful for the chance to visit Ramstein Air Base and meet the incredible men and women who are on America's front line. 🇺🇸
It was an honor to thank Virginia servicemembers stationed at
