Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Uifa'atali Amata is honoring American Samoa's Veterans for Veterans Day 2024, and released the following statement:

"I so appreciate our Veterans and all they mean to our islands and our country. We are deeply blessed in American Samoa to have many Veterans throughout our community. They have earned lasting respect and are a source of wisdom and strength to our people.

"In response to concerns expressed by our Veterans, and others, I've reached out to Hawaiian Airlines regarding the cost of travel, and I hope to hear helpful information and continue working on important quality of life issues for our veterans.

"I am humbled to serve our nation's Veterans as Vice Chairman on the House Veterans' Affairs Committee, where we have bipartisan unity of purpose in keeping our national commitment to our Veterans. They are owed good health care, available mental services for any such needs, and recognition. Thank you to our Veterans, and may God be with and bless each of you."
