’s new location in Richmond. Heaven on a bun is now a few blocks away from the Capitol!
Every day, law enforcement officers report for duty with the knowledge of the dangers they may face and the sacrifices they may be called upon to make to safeguard our communities. Thank you for all you do to protect our Commonwealth.
Today, flags in Virginia are being flown at half-staff in memory and respect of Peace Officers’ Memorial Day. We honor the law enforcement officers who have fallen in the line of duty and recognize their sacrifices.
This is an important day for Virginia. While Virginians’ elected officials can sometimes be far apart on policy, today demonstrates and reiterates that we can come together to deliver for the Commonwealth.
My mother was, and always will be, my hero. On a day that so rightfully draws our adoration for Mothers, to my amazing wife, Suzanne, and all mothers in the Commonwealth, your love and commitment are truly irreplaceable. Happy Mother’s Day!
Ram Nation, today is about you, your accomplishments, and your bright futures. As you enter a world with countless opportunities, choices, and defining moments, the world needs your music. Make a masterpiece.

Our new partnership between
@VaNationalGuard
and the Finnish defense ministry is a testament to the strong relationship between the Commonwealth of Virginia and the nation of Finland.
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.
