Congressman Al Green Hosts Annual Flags Distribution for Veterans at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center

On Monday, February 9, 2015, Congressman Al Green distributed flags flown above the Capitol to over 400 veterans at the Michael E. DeBakey Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Congressman Al Green has distributed thousands of flags flown over the Capitol to veterans at the hospital since 2008.

“Every year I am honored and humbled to look these veterans in the eye and say ‘Thank you’ as I hand them a flag flown over the Capitol. We must all show our appreciation for the men and women who have made it possible for us to live in the greatest country in the world.  They were there for us and now we must be there for them.  This is the least a grateful nation can do,” Congressman Al Green said.  “As a Member of Congress, I will continue to make supporting and authoring legislation which supports our brave veterans one of my top priorities in Congress.”
