Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary!

Thurraya,

Itโ€™s hard to believe itโ€™s been 25 years.

Starting out together to building a life filled with memories โ€” two kids, six PCS moves, five houses, countless adventures, family reunions, celebrations, and even the difficult moments of saying goodbye to friends and family along the way. Through every season, weโ€™ve faced it all together.

What a journey itโ€™s been, and Iโ€™m so grateful for every step with you. Hereโ€™s to 25 years of love, laughter, resilience, and a lifetime more to come. โค๏ธ

HARRISONBURG, Va. โ€” What a wonderful evening joining the students and staff of JMU CRU at their annual Vision Dinner last night. This special event was a meaningful highlight of the program year and included the introduction of next yearโ€™s leadership team, which includes Matthias. We are incredibly proud of him and look forward to seeing his continued growth when he returns to James Madison University this fall.

HARRISONBURG, Va. โ€” I am incredibly proud of Matthias and the JMU Symphony Orchestra. Their performance on Thursday night was incredible! ๐ŸŽถ ๐Ÿ’œ ๐Ÿ’›

It was a beautiful concert, made even more special as their final performance piece of the evening was composed by JMU student and Annandale High School alum Thien Phan, who has received recognition for his works at VMEA and JMU. It was so moving to hear music created by someone who shared the same high school stage as my son.

ANNANDALE, Va. โ€” I'm super proud of my wife who continues to spread the word about the importance of both Tyler's Law and Malcolm's Law. Hopefully, our current elected officials will see today's television interview and pass this legislation to help save lives.
