CORNYN APPLAUDS LAUNCH OF NEW PROGRAM TO SUPPORT TROOPS

Highlights community support for those in harm's way, Cornyn says

WASHINGTON-U.S. Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, applauded the launch of the Department of Defense's (DoD) new "America Supports You" program. The initiative is an effort by the DoD to showcase and communicate the many ways communities across America are uniting to support the men and women of the military.

"I'm pleased that the Department of Defense is highlighting the efforts of communities to voice support for our Armed Forces, especially those serving in harm's way," Cornyn said. "Through the 'America Supports You' initiative, American military personnel stationed overseas will now be able to see the support of people across the country on their behalf every day. I hope showcasing these efforts will have a positive impact on the morale of the men and women defending our country around the world."
