It was great connecting with the Healthy Communities Partnership – Chambersburg Cares Coalition and learning more about the impactful work they’re doing in our community.
Their focus on preventing substance abuse and unhealthy behaviors, while helping students build goal-setting and time management skills, is making a real difference. They’re also educating kids on the dangers of tobacco use, vaping, and other harmful habits.
Empowering our youth with the tools and knowledge to make healthy choices is key to building a stronger future.

✝️ Easter Monday ✝️
On this Easter Monday, we continue to celebrate the joy and hope of the Resurrection and reflect on the promise of new life that Easter brings.
It is a time to give thanks for faith, family, and the many blessings we share, while carrying forward the message of renewal, grace, and hope into the days ahead.
Wishing everyone a peaceful and blessed Easter Monday.
I join all Americans in expressing profound relief and gratitude for the safe rescue of the U.S. F‑15 crew member who was recovered after ejecting deep inside hostile territory following the downing of his aircraft. This courageous airman — and all the brave men and women who executed this complex search‑and‑rescue operation — exemplify the unwavering resolve and skill of our Armed Forces. Especially during this Easter weekend, we give thanks for his safe return and keep him, his family, and all service members in our prayers. 🇺🇸✈️🙏

April 5, 1986 - A bomb exploded at a popular discotheque frequented by American military personnel in West Berlin, killing two U.S. soldiers and a Turkish woman. American intelligence analysts attributed the attack to Muammar Qaddafi of Libya. Nine days later, President Ronald Reagan ordered a retaliatory air strike against Libya.
It is with profound sorrow that I extend my deepest condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Chief Jeffory L. Buck and Assistant Chief Robert Shick of the Walnutport/Walnuttown Fire Company, who were tragically killed in the line of duty while conducting a search on April 4, 2026.
Their bravery, selfless service, and unwavering commitment to protecting others embodies the very best of our first responders. Pennsylvania and our nation owe an immeasurable debt of gratitude to these heroes. My thoughts and prayers are with their loved ones and the entire firefighting community during this incredibly difficult time. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.
