Today, we reflect and honor the six million Jews and other victims lost during the Holocaust.   We also honor the lives of the survivors. Thank you for sharing your story and reminding us of our community’s strength and resilience, Ruth Cohen.

We must pledge to carry forth the lived experiences of those who survived the Holocaust. Yesterday, the @SecondGentleman and I had the honor of speaking with Ruth Cohen. Her story is one of remarkable resilience.

It's the love shown, not the tragedy, that will define this community. I'll never forget the people I met, the stories that I heard, and the strength that I witnessed in Waukesha.

Once my kids got their shots, I knew they were going to be okay. I want every parent to breathe that sigh of relief.   Vaccines are safe, free, and now available for every child in this country five years old and up. Get the facts at Vaccines.gov.

On this 80th Anniversary, I’m recalling how powerful and emotional it was to visit the Pearl Harbor Memorial. Today, we remember the Americans who gave their lives and honor the courageous men and women who answered the call to serve.
