You SKIPPED Army birthday parade - WHY?
To: Rep. Graves
From: A constituent in Plattsburg, MO
August 7
On 14 June 2025, I received your email which contained the following text, “Today, we honor our heroes by hosting the Army’s 250th Birthday Parade, a historic tribute to the men and women who have served this nation with valor and dedication. This special event will take place in the heart of Washington, D.C.” I called your offices to find out WHY you didn’t attend this “historic tribute” in Washing D.C. Why didn’t you prioritize this very historic and special event and attend the parade and celebration? Surely you knew the DATE, given it was the 250th Army Birthday – please reply and tell me why you choose not to attend this event.
