State Representative Mike Coffey recently supported veterans and active-duty military members during a Veterans Day breakfast at Hy-Vee in Springfield. The event, which took place on November 12, 2024, saw over 500 veterans and their families come together to enjoy community support and a complimentary meal.
In addition to the breakfast, Rep. Coffey has been actively engaging with local veterans through the Veterans Advisory Council for the 95th District. This council was established to understand better the needs and concerns of local veterans. A meeting was held at American Legion Post #32, where council members discussed veteran benefits, legislation, and their expectations from lawmakers.
Rep. Coffey emphasized the importance of remembering those who have fought to protect constitutional rights in the United States. "We must always remember we have our freedoms because of the men and women who have fought to protect our Constitutional Rights of the United States of America," he stated.
Further details about the meeting and legislation supported by Rep. Coffey that benefits veterans are available for those interested.
