The sixth anniversary of Obamacare leaves nothing to celebrate; it was bad medicine when signed into law on March 23, 2010 and remains bad medicine today.

The world is a dangerous place. Make no mistake, my fight will focus on building the most robust, highly-capable fleet.

From World War II, to Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Operation Desert Shield, Desert Storm, Iraq, and Afghanistan and in between, the men and women of our military have proudly served a grateful nation. Mechanics, nurses, cooks, pilots, clerks, doctors, engineers or other positions; in battle, at home, or at an overseas base, each has a special story. Each has made a particular contribution to our country.
