Senator Susan Collins Receives Army’s Highest Public Service Honor

U.S. Senator Susan Collins has been awarded the Army Distinguished Public Service Medal, the highest public service recognition awarded by the U.S. Army.

The medal is awarded to individuals whose service makes a substantial contribution to the Army’s mission.

From Sen. Susan Collins:

It was a tremendous honor to be awarded the Army’s Distinguished Public Service Medal. I would like to thank Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth for awarding me this medal, which is the highest public service recognition awarded by the U.S. Army. Throughout my Senate service, and in my leadership roles on the Senate Appropriations Committee and the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, maintaining a strong national defense has been one of my highest priorities.This commitment not only enhances our national security at a time when we face the most dangerous global security environment in 50 years, but it also supports good-paying jobs at Bath Iron Works, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, and elsewhere across the State of Maine.
