FREDERICKSBURG FREE-LANCE STAR

U.S. Rep. Abigail Spanberger, D–7th, has launched a new survey to gather “Stories of Service’ from Virginians with loved ones who are active-duty service members or veterans.

During Military Appreciation Month, the survey invites Virginians to share the personal story of a service member or veteran in their lives. The congresswoman will save and share many of the stories to recognize the sacrifices of those in uniform, according to a news release from her office.
