Issue Position: Military and Veterans

Issue Position

As a veteran of the United States Army, I understand the sacrifices that our troops, our veterans, and their families endure. Since coming to Congress, I have supported efforts to improve the quality of life for the brave men and women who sacrifice to serve our nation, as well as the many veterans who have served us in the past. I am committed to providing them both with services and benefits they have earned through their honest and faithful service to our nation.

In addition, my district is home to both Fort Benning in Columbus and the Marine Corps Logistics Base in Albany, so I am privileged to count thousands of military personnel and veterans among my constituency. Representing these military installations has given me a primary role in addressing a wide-range of issues that affect our service men and women. I have also traveled to both Iraq and Afghanistan to visit the troops and see firsthand the remarkable work our young men and women are doing there.

Freedom ranks right up with the air we breath on our priority list of blessings, and I -- along with every American -- owe a deep debt of gratitude to those who have faithfully served the country in order to make freedom secure.

The federal government offers a wide range of services and support for our nation's military communities. Please visit my Military Family and Veterans Resource Center for help navigating these government resources.
