It is an honor to represent so many of our men and women in uniform at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, and Cherry Point and New River Air Stations. Our service members, and their families, sacrifice greatly to protect our nation and the freedoms we cherish.

We live in a very dangerous time in which foreign hostility to the United States is ever-growing. Our military must be prepared with the resources it needs to deter enemies and keep threats at bay. I am proud to have delivered hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding for construction projects on our bases, historic pay raises for our troops, and numerous quality of life reforms to ensure that military families can thrive. I will always stand up for those who bravely serve our country and be a strong advocate for them in Congress.
