AceShowbiz - Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 84, got injured while on a congressional delegation trip to Luxembourg to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge. She was subsequently admitted to a local hospital for evaluation, her spokesperson, Ian Krager, announced on Friday, December 13.
According to Krager, Pelosi "continues to work" and expresses regret for being unable to attend the remaining engagements honoring American service members. He emphasized that she was "personally and officially honored" to participate in the delegation, which included relatives of those who fought in World War II, including her uncle, Johnny.
No further details about Pelosi's injury have been released, but Krager stated that she is receiving "excellent treatment" from medical professionals. "She looks forward to returning home to the U.S. soon," the rep added.
Before the incident, Pelosi's team had announced her planned travel to Belgium and Luxembourg from December 12 to 14 to participate in anniversary observances alongside veterans, active duty service members, and foreign dignitaries. Pelosi had highlighted the significance of honoring the sacrifice and courage of those who fought in the Battle of the Bulge.
Pelosi's visit to Europe for the Battle of the Bulge commemoration marks her second such trip; she previously led a congressional delegation to the area five years ago for its 75th anniversary.
