We're truly saddened to hear the news of Congressman Connolly's passing. He was a champion for public servants in his district and across the world, and a true friend of NARFE. He engaged in his work as a committed representative of his constituents with passion, determination, integrity, intellect, and a focus on making a real-world impact. He was a regular at NARFE meetings across his district, and his leadership on our issues earned him frequent mention in our weekly newsletters and monthly magazines. For those of us who have had the pleasure to get to know him, it's not just the loss of a stalwart advocate, it's a personal loss as well. (fb)

During mental health awareness month, we ask you to reach out to your friends and/or family as checking in on someone makes all the difference. (fb)
