our marines and airmen are extraordinary. I co-led a congressional delegation to Camp Lejeune and Seymour Johnson Air Force Base with Representative Ellzey. The V-22 Osprey, with its tilt rotor, is a remarkable aircraft with a statistically sound safety record and was the perfect ride from Onslow to Wayne County. Congress must ensure the future of our F-15Es at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base. Touring marine barracks, visiting the child development center at Seymour Johnson, and hearing directly from our marines and airmen reminded me why we fight every day to ensure that we have the resources, housing, and equipment that it takes to win anywhere, anytime. Our servicemembers sacrifice so much for our freedom. It was great seeing such dedicated servicemembers, because when we take care of our men and women in uniform and their families, we take care of the future of our country.
