The pins – which feature a blue circle with a laurel wreath surrounding a bald eagle, the American flag, and six stars that represent the allied nations who served in the Vietnam War – were awarded to several local veterans.

Nevada is home to more than 200,000 veterans, and as the daughter of a veteran, Congresswoman Lee has worked to pass, and is leading, bipartisan legislation to expand veteran health care.
