Mayor Barbara Lee's Veterans Day Message
Mayor's Office Contact:
Justin Phillips
"On Veterans Day, we honor all who have served our country with courage and dedication. My father, Lieutenant Colonel Garvin Tutt, was among the countless Black service members who served in WWII and the Korean War - true patriots who risked everything for a country that denied them their full rights as American citizens. There is no better way to show our gratitude than to invest in the lives and wellbeing of our veterans, ensuring they receive the healthcare, housing, and support they have earned. To all our veterans: thank you for your service and sacrifice."
