Today, Congressman Brandon Williams (NY-22) led a group of a dozen congressional veterans, along with House Speaker Mike Johnson, in raising new American flags outside Union Station. This event followed an anti-American, pro-Palestine protest during which flags were stolen and burned.

"Anti-American agitators will not have the last say. We will continue to stand for this great country, no matter what. You tear down our flag, and I will put it back up every single time! God Bless America," said Congressman Brandon Williams.

Watch Rep. Williams speak outside of Union Station explaining why he chose to organize Veteran Congressional Members to hoist new flags here.
