Patty Murray actually said...

Our most important military asset isn't our weapons or our equipment, it is the brave and talented women and men.

We cannot afford to let our efforts get sidetracked and our investments fall behind.

If we want a strong workforce, we have to make sure everyone can pursue a high-quality education and career training opportunities.

The bottom line is, if we want our country to grow and thrive, like it has for past generations, we have to invest in the next generation.
