REPRESENTATIVE-ELECT CHRISSY HOULAHAN (D-PA-6): : In addition to being a veteran myself, I am third- generation military, and my grandmother and grandfather are buried at Arlington. And so I think it's important that our commander in chief respect the veterans and the people who have served our country so fundamentally. So this is personal to me. But it also is about our nation.
REPRESENTATIVE-ELECT DAN CRENSHAW (R-TX-2): : I would have liked to see him at Arlington. But, as veterans, what affects us is, listen, are you giving us a clear mission? Are you giving us the equipment we need to do it? Are you raising pay for the military? He's done all of these things. That's what matters to me as a veteran.
