Moran: American Troops Returning From Iraq with Honor

Statement

Congressman Jerry Moran issued the following statement in response to President Obama's Oval Office address on Iraq.

"American combat forces are returning from Iraq with honor. In the face of significant challenges and calls for premature withdrawals, our service members stayed the course. Today, Iraq is more stable and America is more secure because of their brave service. These accomplishments are a testament to the great sacrifice and the remarkable professionalism of our troops and military leadership," said Moran.

"Ending U.S. combat operations in Iraq is a welcome milestone, but we must remember that our mission in Iraq will continue, as we advise and assist the Iraqis in achieving lasting security and forming a stable government. I pledge my continued support for our men and women in uniform, and will work to ensure our troops have the resources they need to complete the mission."
