On the recordJanuary 8, 2020
With the escalation of conflict in Iran, we are currently living through uncertain times. Today and every day the safety of Americans is my priority, and I am grateful for the brave men and women in our armed services who put their lives on the line for our safety. While we are all united in supporting our troops in service, we must always remember our veterans at home. Throughout my district, I have heard so many stories from veterans and their loved ones who have told me just how difficult the transition back to civilian life can be. Our veterans should not have to worry about putting a roof over their family's heads, having access to quality healthcare, and obstacles to pursuing further career opportunities. Although we can never fully repay them for their service and sacrifice, we must all be committed to ensuring that veterans and their families have access to all of the benefits they have earned from their service. Let's not forget our troops, our veterans, and all the brave women and men in uniform who sacrifice each day for our Nation. ____________________
