Brian Babin: “You are, Mr. King. You are a sponsor. And I thank you for your cosponsorship and trying to keep our American citizens…”

I thank the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Moore) for this Special Order, and what a special time it is. As the son of a World War II vet myself who was in the Pacific, and as a former Army enlisted troop and former Army Air Force officer…

I am hopeful that the Coast Guard will make serious strides and changes in the future.

Without changes I don't think recruitment is going to improve.

Supporting small businesses is as American as it gets.
