Scott Wagner: Americans honor veterans by standing up for National Anthem

When we stand and sing the National Anthem, we recommit to freedom--in honor of those who secure it for us. Here is my plea to every single American: Please stand up for veterans like Travis Mills, for the hundreds of thousands of brave military members who are buried in cemeteries around the world, and for all veterans. Please honor them during the National Anthem the way they honor us on the battlefield--by standing up. Source: 2018 Pennsylvania Gubernatorial website WagnerForGov.com May 8, 2018

Lou Barletta: Military shouldn't have gay rights imposed

Barletta appeared to side with the transgender ban: "While I am waiting on more information, President Trump consulted with our generals and took their recommendation. Decisions about our military's readiness are best left to our nation's top military officials, not politicians interested in forwarding a social or political agenda. Our troops should be insulated from political considerations so they can remain focused on carrying out their mission to protect the American people."
