WASHINGTON, DC – Today, U.S. Representative Angie Craig delivered first-hand narratives from two U.S. Army veterans, Jack Zimmerman of Elysian and Thomas Mullon of Eagan to the Veterans History Project at the Library of Congress in Washington, DC.
Throughout the past year, Rep. Craig and her team have conducted video interviews with Jack and Thomas. During today’s event, Rep. Craig delivered those interviews and shared more about Jack and Thomas’s military service.
Their interviews will be archived in the Library’s Veterans History Project and be available for the public to view in the coming months.

“Today, I am honored to deliver to the Library of Congress the stories of U.S. Army veterans, Jack Zimmerman of Elysian, Minnesota and Thomas Mullon of Eagan, Minnesota,” she continued.
