I just got home from my trip to Israel, where I met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and many brave soldiers who were recovering from their injuries in the rehabilitation ward of Hadassah Hospital Mt. Scopus in Jerusalem. The opportunity to share my unwavering support of Israel and the soldiers of the IDF was an emotional experience for me that has renewed my fight to stand with our ally, Israel. As I heard from the injured warriors, I was impressed by their dedication to the goal and sense of mission. I was also able to share my experience recovering from my war injuries as they began their recovery journey. Friend, you have been a loyal supporter, so you are likely familiar with my story as a combat veteran turned Congressman: I lost both my legs and a finger in Afghanistan when a Taliban IED exploded beneath me. The terrifying truth is that there is a growing radical faction in Congress that apologizes for and even defends the same brand of monstrous terrorists that blew off my legs and injured the Israeli warriors I met. These terrorist apologists are a threat to our country and our allies. I learned in the Army to rely on my fellow soldiers in my time of need, and now I am looking to you, Patriot. That’s why I’m reaching out today and humbly asking you for support.
I didn’t back down when terrorists blew off my legs, and my Israeli friends haven’t backed down after their injuries, so I certainly am not going to back down now. If you are willing to give your support, I give you my word I will not give up this fight.
