Senator Ernst thanks veterans

Submitted by admin on Tue, 11/10/2015 - 14:53

Editor’s note: Several weeks ago, the Clayton County Register reached out to Senator Joni Ernst. We asked her if she would be willing to share some thoughts for our Veterans’ Day issue. It seemed an appropriate request, given her years of military service and her commitment to veterans. We are pleased to share her thoughts, written exclusively for our family of newspapers.
