A word from Senator Bert Brackett

Below are some recent activities and highlights taking place in the Idaho Capitol. I hope you enjoy the information. For more details, you can log onto legislature.idaho.gov where you will find bills, committee recordings, and live stream videos of our House and Senate floor sessions.

National Vietnam War Veterans Day was celebrated on the front steps of the Capitol last week, and Governor Little spoke in honor of Idaho Vietnam Veterans, thanking them for their service to our country. As the 65th Idaho Legislature nears the end, a reoccurring theme this year has been recognizing and honoring our bravest heroes.

The event was organized by the Idaho Division of Veteran Services with the mission to serve Idaho’s veterans and their families. In addition, their goal is to provide excellent assistance with benefits and education, high quality long-term care, and respectful interment services in a dignified final resting place for our veterans.
