Monday marks Memorial Day, when many members of Congress will honor not only their loved ones and their constituents but their own years in service.

In the 118th Congress, there were 99 veterans at the start of the term: 82 members in the House and 17 members in the Senate. The number of veterans elected in 2022 marked the fourth time in the last 50 years that the total number of elected veterans increased. https://gazette.com/news/wex/veterans-in-congress-honor-fallen-heroes-on-memorial-day-and-reflect-on-service/article_a288ab84-8d09-5b93-b13f-10e06c315e5e.html
