Heroes honored at Bigfork Veterans Day assembly
Democrat Sen. Jon Tester was joined by Republican Rep. Ryan Zinke at a Veterans Day assembly at Bigfork High School on Friday where the two shared common ground on their efforts to take care of veterans.
“There are some things that transcend politics… and while the good Senator [Tester] and I may be on the opposite side of the aisle on politics … this is not that,” said Zinke, a former Navy SEAL.
Tester spoke of his efforts in Congress to assist former servicemen and women, highlighting the construction of a new Veterans Affairs health care center in the valley and the passage of the PACT Act.
