Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I serve on the House Armed Services Committee, and through that assignment I have had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with soldiers, airmen, marines, sailors, and their families. Like all Americans, I certainly want our sons and daughters to be safe when we send them into harm's way. We want to take as much care of them as we possibly can. The media has talked some about some of the documents that were released by Mr. Snowden, but there were at one point 7 million documents that were released.

It should say something that the first place you go is China and the second place you go is Russia. That should say something to the American people. This Memorial Day, I want the American people to focus on those men and women, our country's sons and daughters, who have honorably served our Nation and have stood by their brothers in arms and protected one another as we have asked them to fight for us. Mr. Chairman and Mr. Ranking Member, thank you for your work on this legislation.”
