\"There is no place for antisemitism anywhere in this country,\" Governor Healey said, calling the incident \"a horrifying and senseless act.\" She urged citizens to denounce the \"climate of hate\" and thanked first responders and military personnel who responded to the incident in Washington.

Healey prefaced the statement by asking attendees to stand with the state's Jewish community and said Massachusetts would be \"strong as folks in Massachusetts\" in opposing antisemitism and other forms of hate. She also asked for civic action: \"I call upon all of us, though, as citizens to do our part and to denounce and to fight against that kind of antisemitism and that kind of hate.\"

Her remarks were given amid a program focused on honoring service members, veterans and Gold Star families and preceded the reading of honorees' names and a keynote address by General Joseph Dunford. The ceremony continued after the governor's remarks and included a group photo and refreshments for honorees.

No formal policy measures or emergency directives were announced during the event.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Governor Healey Celebrates Military Appreciation Day","oneSentenceSummary","At the inaugural Military Appreciation Day, Governor Maura Healey publicly condemned an attack at the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C., calling for denouncements of antisemitism and thanking first responders.","taxTitle","Office of the Governor, Executive , Massachusetts","taxId",22309,"location","Massachusetts","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6228562,"Massachusetts marks first Military Appreciation Day; leaders highlight HERO Act, veterans housing and defense investments",159,2997000,3156000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3471328-07be54b6fede903b85121a315f936a6b&start=2997&end=3156","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3471328-07be54b6fede903b85121a315f936a6b/thumbnail_2997000.jpg","/articles/6228562/Massachusetts/Massachusetts-marks-first-Military-Appreciation-Day-leaders-highlight-HERO-Act-veterans-housing-and-defense-investments","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6228562-918169fb5d5f4b783033bdc74bd9977e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771179491&Signature=ENK4hTrXNzzkr2p1250yJpdrKVbXxgxieX2IAaLLq9pEgoRmFxygaMm-E7p7xUyyMk7c5A6aKbgyW-UwD3n4aH90I~uaMx~4xIpA~H7yrOaxvkAyzjuGzhku6w7y2zTOo-ZbIN72-BbfWXL-Wcq0a7REqwT4eoXBbsTIah~bGkFAxRS1fMNqvJLtOI8NNtOUAbabxiiHugzcK2RPOtan3jJ2Iy015SPHUVpC-oiKhkJ~xUPYxOgW9Vu3zUBF5CcdORPtA74DpGzcpPMqGov4XlVy9RljdsHTs-VSvQ8yoF5BpdmE~fdK0A0NmPCT4VcSy5GyHlXbQmyRiGfBiR~iYQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Massachusetts officials and military leaders gathered at the Massachusetts State House on May 22 for the first annual Military Appreciation Day, where speakers highlighted recent state legislation and investments aimed at supporting veterans, military families and veterans housing.

The event brought together Governor Maura Healey, Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll, Secretary of the Executive Office of Veterans Services John Santiago and Senate President Karen Spilka, among others, to recognize honorees and outline ongoing priorities for veteran services.

The gathering emphasized recent policy and budget work. Senate President Karen Spilka said the HERO Act signed by the governor \"provides the most far reaching benefits in the entire country out of all of our states,\" describing expanded recognition of service members and steps to broaden benefits and behavioral-health access for veterans and their families.

Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll highlighted the economic link between defense installations and the state, saying, \"Our bases generate billions in total annual economic activity and support more than 50,000 jobs across the state.\" Driscoll and other speakers said the federal government has invested heavily in Massachusetts military installations in recent years.

Secretary John Santiago and Deputy Secretary Andrea Gail Bennett framed the event as part ceremony and part policy reminder, noting work on veterans homes, efforts to end veteran homelessness and partnerships with veterans service organizations. Speakers cited modernizing veterans homes and continued budget support as evidence of the commonwealth's commitments.

Keynote speaker General Joseph Dunford praised Massachusetts' veteran programs and stressed the link between public support and future recruitment and retention, describing how visible state leadership signals priorities to service members and families.

The program also included personal tributes to longtime veterans. Secretary Santiago and others singled out Massachusetts residents such as Rocco Talisi, a World War II veteran and East Boston mentor who recently turned 100, and Corporal Charles Sanderson of Lunenburg, described in remarks as 101 and still active in restoring Model Ts.

The event was ceremonial; no formal motions, votes or policy directives were taken during the program. Honorees nominated by state senators and representatives were read aloud and photographed on the grand staircase following the ceremony.

Organizers said the day is intended to be recurring and to reinforce the state's ongoing work on veterans' housing, homelessness prevention and benefits expansion.","State leaders gathered at the Massachusetts State House on May 22 for the inaugural Military Appreciation Day, praising the HERO Act, recent investments in veterans homes and housing, and the economic footprint of defense installations while honoring service members and Gold Star families.","actionData","errors"]
