"Honoring our state’s men and women in the armed forces, past and present, is one of our greatest honors," Lt. Gov. Sabina Matos said. (Office of Gov. Dan McKee)
PROVIDENCE, RI — Gov. Dan McKee and other top state leaders gathered Friday to award $50,000 in donations to the Rhode Island Military Family Relief Fund.
The money was raised during a fundraising campaign last year, spearheaded by then-Lt. Gov. McKee.
"While the brave men and women of our military are serving our state and nation, their families are at home serving too. It is our duty as Rhode Islanders to do all we can to support them," McKee said. "Our local service members and their families continue to sacrifice so much, especially during the coronavirus pandemic when hundreds of Rhode Island National Guard members have been activated to support the state's COVID response."
