Semper Fi! Robinson Honors 250 Years of the United States Marine Corps at PA State Capitol
This year, we celebrated the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States Marine Corps. To commemorate this incredible milestone, I hosted a ceremony at the Pennsylvania State Capitol. The event featured the U.S. Marine Corps’ traditional cake-cutting ceremony honoring Marine Corps customs and camaraderie. We also highlighted new Marines as they symbolically took their oath to join the Corps on the rotunda steps. Thank you to everyone who joined the ceremony and made it a great success!
Additionally, as a Marine Corps veteran, I was proud to sponsor a resolution to designate Nov. 10, 2025, as Marine Corps Day in Pennsylvania. The resolution honored the 250th anniversary of the Marine Corps’ establishment and reaffirmed Pennsylvania’s deep historical connection to its founding. Tun Tavern, a historic Philadelphia tavern and brewery (1685-1781), is considered the birthplace of the U.S. Marine Corps and permanently links the commonwealth to one of the nation’s most storied military institutions. Thank you to all our Marines, past and present. Semper Fi! Read more here. Annual Veterans Breakfast with Representative Mihalek
Representative Natalie Mihalek (R-40) and I want to thank everyone who came to our annual Veterans Breakfast at St. Clair Country Club.

Thank you to my friend, colleague, and fellow Marine Senator Greg Rothman (R-34) for inviting me to speak at his annual veterans breakfast! It was an honor to be among so many fellow veterans to break bread and remember the lessons, camaraderie, and sense of purpose the military gave us. Veterans Day Events Across the 37th Senatorial DistrictI am so proud that we live in a region that prioritizes honoring local veterans. There were so many incredible events across the 37th Senatorial District over the last few weeks that celebrated our community’s heroes. Here are some of the events that my staff was grateful to attend:
The students at Thomas Jefferson High School put on a wonderful celebration to recognize veterans in the Jefferson Hills community. Thank you for honoring those who served!

Ensuring U.S. and Pennsylvania Flags Are Made in America
All Pennsylvania and U.S. flags purchased by the commonwealth for public display will be made in the United States under legislation approved by the Senate. Senate Bill 784, which requires the flags to be labeled with “Made in the USA,” was sent to the House of Representatives for consideration. Expanding Eligibility for Free Hunting Licenses for Disabled Veterans
Legislation to expand eligibility for free Pennsylvania hunting licenses to veterans who are 100% disabled due to service-connected injuries outside of combat was recently introduced. Senate Bill 1020 provides discounted $1 hunting licenses to veterans who are partially disabled due to injuries incurred through training, non-combat operations, peacetime duties or other hazardous activities.
