I was a military spouse, and I lived on military pay. It is very difficult to do that. But we do that with honor and with gratitude for the chance to serve this country.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have family that are vets of the military. My grandfather served as well.
My grandfather is a retired Marine, and I've always had a great deal of respect for anyone who serves our country.
We do thank our men and women in uniform. And I thank them. I thank this House today that approved a bill that will allow for a pay raise for our military. We are grateful for that and for the actions of this body.
The Navy's paid for you to go through school, and then they need doctors to go out and take care of people who are in various different parts of the world. I decided to pay back my time first as an undersea medical officer. I was stationed in Scotland.
We owe an enormous debt of gratitude to those who serve or have served in our country's military, as well as to the families of those individuals. Whether protecting our freedoms in foreign fields or making contributions here at home, the value these men and women bring to the American workforce and our way of life is beyond measure.
I take care of military families. Their sacrifices are very real.
I have great respect and understanding for military commitment due to my own family's involvement with the armed forces.
I served my country in uniform for 26 years.
Working with our military community has been the biggest honor of my life.
We have sent our troops to war without paying for it. Now, we are bringing them home without saying how we are paying for it.
