Salute to our Veterans: My WWII dad and uncles, Vietnam War cousins, nephew Ben Hutchins with combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, my incredible Defense Attaché team at U.S. Mission China. As a nation, we are deeply indebted to all in uniform. #Veterans Day2026

For 251 years, Marines have met every fight with resolve, precision, and an ethos that never wavers. The first to fight and the last to yield. America sleeps well because Marines stand the watch.
Happy Birthday, Marines. Semper Fidelis.

Amen.
"Let it be told to the future world, that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet and to repulse it."View quoted post on X

I support my friend and former student @BaleDaltonFL for Congress in Florida’s seventh district. Bale is a Navy veteran and former senior NASA official who is ready to flip this seat!
.@SenBillNelson set the standard for taking care of Floridians across our state. I was honored he laced up his old campaign walking boots to join me in knocking doors today. As he taught us, public service is a public trust, and I will continue to work for your trust today, tomorrow, and every day should I be elected your Representative.View quoted post on X
