Virginia: Mother of Heroes
While Virginia is known as the Mother of Presidents, she is also the Mother of Heroes. Today we mourn the passing of two of her heroes. Rep. Jo Ann Davis paved the way to the U.S. Capitol for other daughters of the commonwealth to one day tread. Her first piece of legislation, passed by the House, increased the life insurance benefit paid to survivors of military members killed on duty.
Pvt. Daniel Fisher, of Henry County, was preparing to also serve his commonwealth and country. He also lived by the motto, not self but others. We are truly blessed to live among such great Virginians.
Godspeed.
