Dear Friend,
Wanted to ensure you saw my support for last week’s passage of the National
Defense Authorization Act. My dad was an Air Force veteran who served in WWII,
and I have always worked hard to look out for our military men and women – and
their families – who call Texas home.
I know you’ll join me in continuing to support our military heroes – active
and retired – who defend our freedom and represent the honor and strength of
America.
