In recognition of the U.S. Air Force's anniversary on September 18, 2025, Moran expressed gratitude to its members.

Later that day, he highlighted an award from Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) related to his legislative work: "Honored to be named @wwp Legislator of the Year. The work I do on the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of organizations like @wwp and I look forward to continuing to work together in the future. https://t.co/KTWdp6YJWs".

Senator Moran has been active in advancing workforce development initiatives for Kansas students by supporting educational programs that align with emerging industries such as battery manufacturing and semiconductor production. Additionally, he has consistently recognized Kansas-based military units such as McConnell Air Force Base’s 22nd Air Refueling Wing (22 ARW) and Forbes Field’s 190th Air Refueling Wing (190 ARW), both integral components of U.S. national defense operations.

His recent recognition by Wounded Warrior Project underscores his ongoing commitment to veterans’ issues as part of his role on the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
