PROVIDENCE, R.I. — U.S. Congressman David Cicilline spent the holidays abroad visiting Rhode Island troops.

The congressman met with soldiers at several different bases including in Afghanistan, South Korean, and Tokyo.

“I was honored to spend time over the holidays with so many brave men and women who are serving our country overseas,” said Cicilline.

Cicilline is returning back to Rhode Island this week.

“Every day, our troops demonstrate the very best of our American values. Their incredible courage, tremendous sacrifice, and unwavering service are an inspiration to us all. I’m extraordinarily grateful that I had the opportunity to thank some of our bravest this week, and I want to wish all those who are serving in uniform, their families, and their loved ones a safe and happy holiday season.”
