Today, I rise to support our brave men and women serving overseas, specifically, those in Iraq and the Middle East. I support their mission, as I did during my time on Active Duty. I also rise to recognize all of those who have been working to support this mission, including constituents of mine working at the National Ground Intelligence Center in Charlottesville, Virginia. I have personally worked, during my past, with NGIC on efforts to stop the Quds Force and Qasem Soleimani, specifically their support to IED technologies that killed American troops. Soleimani was a terrorist. The President recently addressed the Nation proposing an allied effort with our partners in NATO to address Iran and ensure they stop their pursuit of hegemonic goals and their nuclear program. I support this effort. Resolute strength is the only way to deal with state sponsors of terrorism. ____________________
