Senator Lana Theis, a Michigan state legislator, used her social media platform this week to highlight health awareness, commemorate veterans' organizations, and thank a visiting political figure.

On September 16, 2025, Senator Theis posted about prostate cancer awareness. She wrote, "September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. Prostate cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer death in men, but when found early it is highly treatable. In fact, the five-year survival rate is nearly 100%. This month, take a moment to learn more and encourage the men https://t.co/jFHbssFKbm".

Later that day, she recognized American Legion Day by noting the organization's historical significance for veterans. Her post stated: "On this day in 1919, Congress granted the American Legion a federal charter. American Legion Day celebrates the organization that serves as a voice and resource for veterans across America. https://t.co/N1DjeaLccy".

On September 18, 2025, Senator Theis expressed gratitude toward U.S. Senator J.D. Vance for his visit to Howell and engagement with local residents: "Thank you, @JDVance, for taking the time to visit with our residents and speak directly to the hardworking people of our community. We are grateful for your leadership and for making Howell a stop on your journey.

Michigan is proud to host you!@ https://t.co/dn6nF5eHos".

Prostate Cancer Awareness Month is observed each September in the United States to promote education about early detection and treatment options for prostate cancer among men.

The American Legion was founded in 1919 following World War I as an organization dedicated to supporting U.S. military veterans through advocacy and community programs.

J.D. Vance is currently serving as a U.S. Senator from Ohio and has been involved in various national discussions related to economic policy and veteran affairs.
