November 13, 2016 (El Cajon) — Congresswoman Susan Davis joined members of the El Cajon City Council at a ceremony honoring our veterans on Friday in downtown El Cajon. Rep. Davis, who also hosted a town hall meeting for veterans last week, posted on her Facebook page, “Let us never forget the veterans who dedicated themselves to defending and protecting our freedoms.”
For Councilwoman Star Bales, an Iraqi immigrant appointed to the council, the moment was bittersweet; Bales lost her reelection bid in the November election. But she told ECM, “I come from a country that never felt like home. You help make this the best country on earth. I don't need a title to serve my community.”
