Wilson Praises House Passage of NDAA

Statement

Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) praised the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act:

"Today's passage of the National Defense Authorization Act marks a victory for service members, military families, and American families. Under the remarkable leadership of Chairman Mac Thornberry, this year's National Defense Authorization Act truly begins to right the course--back to responsibility by enacting key accounting reforms at the Department of Defense and making necessary investments to restore military readiness. Our efforts fulfill pledges by President Donald Trump to rebuild the military.

"As a veteran, as a military father, I'm confident this year's NDAA will chart a new course. This year's bill is a meaningful step forward in the tradition of George Washington, who stated: "To be prepared for war is the most effectual means of preserving the peace."

"The primary function of the national government is to provide for the common defense--to ensure that our service members have the training, equipment, and resources they need to complete the mission. This year's bill does just that."
