    Claire: “So many Missouri families are affected by the heroic sacrifices our servicemembers have made, and this resolution is a small gesture to recognize their brave service.”

    Claire is honoring servicemembers who have been injured or become ill during their service – last week, she & Senator passed bipartisan legislation to officially commemorate today, May 1, 2018, as National Silver Star Service Banner Day.
