This Veterans Day, I am reflecting on the service and sacrifice of our veterans not only when they served our country in uniform, but also after they come home. Veterans play a vital role in supporting our communities here at home and exemplifying American values, and we have a responsibility to ensure that they have the support that they need and have earned.
Long after their time in uniform, many veterans continue to give back — going to extraordinary lengths to better their communities and also to honor their fellow men and women in uniform. Maurice Mailhot of Berlin is just one example of that. Maurice is a Granite State veteran who served in the Korean War and was awarded two Purple Hearts and four Bronze Stars as a result of his bravery and valor.
