Rep. Pat Ryan, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing New York's 18th district, has shared a series of tweets highlighting his recent activities and views on national matters. These posts provide insights into his work honoring veterans, discussing defense leadership, and celebrating historical figures.
On November 25, 2024, Rep. Ryan expressed gratitude for the opportunity to honor both the legacy of Ulster County WWI veteran John Lodge Stoneman and the efforts of volunteer Kathy Wade and others who worked to ensure Stoneman received proper recognition. He stated: "It was a privilege to honor both the legacy of Ulster County WWI veteran John Lodge Stoneman & the efforts of volunteer Kathy Wade & countless others who worked to ensure that Lodge Stoneman received the honor, reverence, & final resting place he earned."
On November 26, 2024, Rep. Ryan addressed issues related to defense department leadership. He commented on the qualifications necessary for such positions by stating: "It’s not about politics. There are plenty of Republicans I disagree with on policy who are at least serious people qualified to lead the Defense Department. It’s about doing what’s right for our troops, and our troops deserve better than Hegseth."
Later that day, Rep. Ryan shared his participation in celebrating Sojourner Truth Day at the Ulster County Courthouse with his team. He remarked on Truth's enduring influence: "Proud my team could join in celebrating Sojourner Truth Day with the unveiling of a plaque at the Ulster County Courthouse, the very location where she won her son's freedom. Truth was a hero in our nation's march toward equality – let her continue to inspire us all."
