Issue Position: Support Ft. Campbell, Ft. Knox, and Our Veterans

Issue Position

Support for our military veterans is a cause that is close to my heart. In office, I will raise awareness on the issues that Ft. Campbell and Ft. Knox face and I will support legislation that helps our service members and their families. After defending the freedoms that make our country so unique, they deserve direct programs and services created to meet their needs.

Most of us have never served in the military, myself included. We will not know the pain of leaving our child for months on end. We will not know the emotional recovery that they face upon returning from active duty. But we all benefit from their service each and every day.

We need to remember that our service men and women are on the front lines in today's heightened security climate. With such a climate, we need to remind ourselves that when we cut troop numbers, we are cutting off our nose to spite our face. By protecting our military families, we protect the futures of all our families.
