Tuberville Honors Patrick Jump of Robertsdale as November "Veteran of the Month"

November 4, 2024 - WASHINGTON D.C.– Today, U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) released a video honoring USMC Corporal Patrick Jump of Robertsdale as the November "Veteran of the Month."

Excerpts from Senator Tuberville's remarks can be found below:

"The son of a Vietnam veteran, Patrick knew what he was getting into when he signed up for the military. He remembers watching the Twin Towers fall while sitting in government class on September 11, 2001. But Patrick's desire to serve was unmoved."

"When the COVID pandemic hit, he realized how great the need was to help veterans struggling with mental health. What began as a weekly virtual check-in with fellow soldiers, started a fulltime mission to help fellow veterans and their families. Patrick purchased a RV, traveling across 43 states before deciding to settle down in Baldwin County. Although not originally from Alabama, when Patrick discovered the region's patriotic spirit, he decided it was the perfect place to call home. He founded the Warrior Legacy Ranch to provide support to veterans struggling with their mental health. He has been a leader in fighting to prevent veteran suicides and expanding the sense of community for veterans-specifically those who served post 9/11. Patrick's efforts have not only helped veterans in Alabama but all across the nation. Alabama is grateful to have him on the frontlines serving those who have honorably served us."
