Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C. Ahead of Memorial Day House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) has selected House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mac Thornberry (R-Clarendon) to deliver the Weekly Republican Address. He will discuss the importance of honoring Americas men and women in uniform and making sure they have what they need to keep our country safe.
America is safer when our military is strong Thornberry said. And our strength depends first and foremost on the men and women who serve. All Americans owe a debt to the men and women who have served our country and especially to those who have given their lives. On Memorial Day we offer our gratitude but we must also remember to honor the ideals for which they sacrificed. Taking care of our troops and keeping America safe must be our top priority.
Last week the House passed a national defense bill that increases pay and reforms some benefits for our troops. President Obama has threatened to veto the measure on account of his demands for more domestic spending.
Thornberry is the first Texan of either party to serve as chairman of the Armed Services Committee and represents the 13th District of Texas.
The Weekly Republican Address will be available nationwide and free for use starting Saturday May 23 at 6:00 am ET on Speaker.gov and GOP.gov.
