Rep. Howard Penny

I was honored to receive one of the 'Defenders of Freedom' awards last evening from Americans for Prosperity - North Carolina. I am humbled to serve this great State. Thank you for the recognition!

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour, and the great conversation that accompanied it!

Today, we are reminded that the tomb could not hold Him! Thank you, Jesus, for your many blessings!

Representative Joe Pike and I had the honor of participating in giving out medals of Service earned to the families of Veterans who had faithfully served our Country! Thank you to the Veterans Legacy Foundation for the invitation.
