The News with Sen. Cruz - April 12, 2015
Statement
Issues: Military Personnel
Greetings,
This Friday I was humbled to stand at Fort Hood and honor the victims of terrorism as they received their long-overdue Purple Heart and Defense of Freedom Medals.
It was profoundly moving to witness the ceremony as family members received awards on behalf of their loved ones who made the ultimate sacrifice and survivors were finally recognized for their bravery on that day in November, 2009.
One of the greatest responsibilities of representing 27 million Texans is ensuring that our service members are given the care they have been promised. I will continue to fight for these soldiers until they receive the benefits they deserve for standing on the front lines to defend this nation.
Keep Texas strong,
Ted Cruz
