“Our military is the finest in the world – they fight for us, spill blood for us, and even die for us. Their sacrifice and commitment exemplifies their loyalty to our country, and in turn, we must provide them with the tools, materials and support they need. We also must provide for the personal needs of those preserving our freedom. That’s why I voted today to increase their pay by 2.1 percent. This legislation also keeps the world’s most dangerous terrorists out of our backyards, isolated at Guantanamo Bay. Helping tighten readiness gaps, upgrading equipment and tools, and offering better healthcare to our troops are also included in this NDAA package.”
