Rep. Tarr’s Newsletter: WEEKEND COMMUNITY EVENTS

This weekend we take time to remember and honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice while defending our nation. My Grandfather served in World War II and my brother more recently during the Gulf War. We have a debt of gratitude to those who have served our country.
