On the recordSeptember 22, 2016
I am grateful that, in my service, I began as a member of the unique class of 2001. These were Members elected in special elections that year, including now-U.S. Senator John Boozman, along with chairman of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Seapower and Projection Forces, Randy Forbes, and chairman of the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs, Jeff Miller, both of whom are completing their House service this year. Since being elected to the House, Chairman Randy Forbes has been a crucial member on the House Judiciary Committee and the House Armed Services Committee, where he serves as the chairman of the Subcommittee on Seapower and Projection Forces. He also founded the Congressional Prayer Caucus, promoting religious freedom worldwide. I have been privileged to work along with Chairman Randy Forbes during our service in Congress. He is a true advocate for peace through strength and has been a leading voice on defense and national security issues. A Trump administration would have a dynamic Secretary of the Navy. I am grateful for the successful service of Chairman Forbes. He and his wife, Shirley, have served the citizens of Virginia's Fourth Congressional District with honor, making a difference for American families. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and may the President, by his actions, never forget September 11th, in the global war on terrorism. Our sympathy to the people of India. ____________________
