Thank you to Aerospace Industries for presenting me with the Wright Stuff Award. I am proud of what Sen. Jim Inhofe, Sen. Patrick Leahy, and I have been able to accomplish in the aerospace and defense industry. There is no wiser investment than that of our military.
I'm deeply honored to have received Distinguished Public Service awards from the Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III, @TheJointStaff, Secretary of the Army Christine E. Wormuth, @SecNav, and Office of the Secretary of the Air Force. For 36 years, I've served as an advocate for our military in the Senate. It's been the privilege of a lifetime to support this mission.
