U.S. SENATE – U.S. Senator Steve Daines recognized Steve and Gayle Mason as Montanans of the Month for their selfless work and contributions to the veteran community in Montana.

Daines welcomes anyone to nominate fellow Montanans for Daines’ “Montanan of the Month” program by calling his office at 202-224-2651 or filling out the submission form on his website HERE.
The following is the tribute Daines submitted to the Congressional Record to honor Montana natives Steve and Gayle Mason.
TRIBUTE TO STEVE AND GAYLE MASON
Mr. Daines, Mr. President, today I have the honor to recognize Steve and Gayle Mason as Montanans of the Month.
Steve and Gayle Mason are residents of Somers, Montana. Steve Mason is a United States military veteran, and his dedication to country and community has continued long after the end of his military service.
Northwest Montana is home to a large, active veteran community, and nearly 6,000 veterans live in Kalispell alone. The Masons have dedicated a tremendous amount of their time and resources to give back to veterans in need by gathering donations and distributing food, clothing, and medical supplies.
It is my distinct honor to recognize Steve and Gayle Mason as Montanans of the Month. Their hard work, dedication to the veteran community, and their selfless service to Montanans will be remembered and inspire many.
