David, Shayna, and Caleb marked America’s 230th birthday today with friends, neighbors, and constituents at local community celebrations in Alexandria and Mount Vernon.

“Looking around and seeing people from all different ethnic, religious, and national backgrounds coming together to celebrate as a community really makes me proud to be an American.”
