On the recordJuly 17, 2023
Last Friday, I was grateful the House passed the 63rd annual National Defense Authorization Act, led by Chairman Mike Rogers and Speaker Kevin McCarthy. This is legislation that advances national security with peace through strength, supporting servicemembers, veterans, and their families. Congress has a duty to support the Armed Forces of America as a primary function of the Federal Government, to provide for the common defense, which we cannot do for ourselves. Highlights in this particular bill include: Promoting missions of the Savannah River Site for nuclear capability and deterrence, advancing the defense research projects at universities across the country, increasing servicemember pay by 5.2 percent, and supporting National Guard operations with border deployment. As a 31-year veteran and father of four sons who have served overseas in the military, I am committed to work for the security of our country, its servicemembers, and their families. In conclusion, God bless our troops, who successfully protected America for 20 years as the global war on terrorism continues moving from the Afghanistan safe haven to America with open Biden borders. Our sympathy to Dr. Eddie Floyd of Florence, South Carolina, upon the death of his beloved wife, Kay. They are champions of the University of South Carolina. ____________________
