Shelley Moore Capito is a U.S. Senator representing West Virginia since 2015 and has been involved in federal legislative matters including budget negotiations and support for military institutions.
Government shutdowns have occurred several times in recent decades due to disagreements over federal funding between Congress and the President. These events often disrupt public services and create uncertainty for federal employees until an agreement is reached to restore funding.
The United States Marine Corps was established in 1775 as one of the nation’s primary branches of armed service. Its annual birthday celebration is widely observed across military communities.
