I had the opportunity to meet with Azeem Khan, founder of the Mountaineer Fentanyl Education Task Force. I am proud that Azeem & West Virginia University students are taking the initiative to educate their peers about the dangers of fentanyl — potentially saving lives!

Mr. Smith of Philippi contacted my office for assistance with the National Personnel Records Center. He was trying to obtain a copy of his father’s DD214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty), but there had been a long wait. As a result of an inquiry from my staff, an official DD214 for his father was provided to Mr. Smith.
