EMILY’s List thanks our service women and men on Veterans Day- and every day- for their fearlessness, commitment, and compassion for our safety at home and abroad. Representatives Tammy Duckworth and Tulsi Gabbard fought for us in the armed forces and because of people like them, we can fight in Washington for what we care about most. Let’s thank Tammy, Tulsi, and all the men and women who serve our country.

Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth

You were not particularly happy when pilots you flew with called you Mommy Platoon Leader. Did you consider this sexual harassment?  Oh, please. No, it’s not. They were just giving me a hard time, because I served hot cocoa. Do you know what? That hot cocoa got my pilots and crew chiefs warm faster, my crews took off faster and they were more deadly. If marshmallows and blowing kisses on the hot cocoa made my men more deadly, I would have done that too.” - New York Times Magazine, 2/15/13, article here
