Bernie Moreno:
A strong American military is the only way to ensure peace
A strong American military, the best in the world, is the only way to ensure peace. We need to ensure they are properly funded and have the resources they need to keep us safe.
Our heroic veterans put everything on the line to fight for our freedoms. We need to make sure we don't forget their sacrifices and always take care of them.

facilities, increase resources for military families and expand the range of services the VA provides. Additionally, there is more we can do to help our veterans transition to civilian life, get jobs and increase awareness of and access to VA programs.

Dan Whitfield:
Invest in the VA: education on bases for soldiers' children
22 veterans commit suicide every day in America, this issue should be at the top of all headlines. The VA does not work. We need to have both Veterans and Doctors come together to find a way to make sure our soldiers get the care they need when they
come home. The funding for schools on military installations comes from the Department of Defense. If we can spend $740,000,000,000 a year on the military, we can afford to make sure our soldier's children are getting the best education possible.

China, Russia, and other threats.

David McCormick:
Advocate for resources for military and veterans
As a combat veteran, it is clear to Dave that the Biden Administration's foreign policy blunders have significantly weakened our position on the world stage. The disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal invited aggression from other adversaries like China,
Iran and Russia. Dave is fully committed to restoring American strength, rebuilding the military, and ensuring our enemies and allies know there is no greater force than the United States military.
As a combat veteran of the Gulf War, Dave understands what it's like to serve our country on the front lines and defend our American freedoms. Pennsylvanians have given disproportionately more to wars and conflicts, and veteran suicide rates in the
Commonwealth are higher than the national average as a result. Dave will always support our troops and their families that have sacrificed their personal interests for a greater cause, and advocate for the necessary resources and care they deserve.

Our defense industrial complex needs to modernize

A powerful military reinforces the efficacy of diplomacy
President Ronald Reagan left us the blueprint for defeating evil powers: Peace through strength. A powerful military reinforces the efficacy of diplomacy, but when diplomacy fails to resolve a crisis, it is the military that must take the baton.
It is past time for the Western democracies to provide the planes and armaments that Ukraine needs to defeat the Russian invaders.

My desire to serve was inspired by my grandfather
It was also during this time that my desire to serve in the military was inspired by my grandfather, Charles Mixon, who served as a B-24 flight engineer during WWII. I graduated from the Naval Academy in 2001, three months prior to 9/11, which would
determine the course of my military career. During my time in the military, I was blessed to work with some of the bravest and most talented Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines. But I've also seen the consequences of irresponsible leadership.

Fully prepared military but we must teach peace
As long as the Earth exists there will be those with evil intent. The United States of America Military forces must always be fully prepared with sufficient means to protect against and overwhelm any and every adversary. That being said, our knowledge,
industry, compassion, and constitution are our greatest exports. As America becomes the Teacher of the World the need for the policing of the world will naturally subside. America must teach peace by example, word, and deed.

Rick Becker:
Must work to reduce our military footprint around the world
Most importantly, the Authority for Use of Military Force must be dramatically revised. I will not stand for sending our men and women overseas to risk their lives, when those in Congress will not even risk their political career to declare a war.
If no declared war, then no dead American soldiers. The war authority is given to Congress, not the president. We must work to reduce our military footprint around the world in places in which it no longer serves a national security purpose.

Full federal benefits to National Guard COVID fighters

of this pandemic should be focused solely on the response to this national Public Health Emergency and not on the status of their Federal benefits. The Federal Government should do more to ensure these public servants are properly taken care of."

Ensure our veterans get the care and services they deserve
As a Navy veteran who spent six years in service, including the Persian Gulf War, I can tell you first hand we've got a lot of work to do to ensure our veterans get the care and services they deserve. We need to work to reduce homelessness among
veterans, provide better health care and connect veterans to job and educational opportunities. We also should provide better services at the VA, and that bad employees at the VA who mistreat veterans are held accountable.

Val knows a strong military is key to our nation's defense. To support all those currently serving, in the U.S. Senate, Val will support robust funding for our country's military installations and training centers.
And in any foreign policy decision that comes before the Senate, Val will always start by evaluating the impact to troops on the ground and their safety.

John Fetterman:
Hold up our end of the bargain for veterans
The women and men of our armed forces are some of the best our country has to offer. After everything our service members do for us, the very least we can do is hold up our end of the bargain when they return home. For too long, politicians in both
parties have short-changed our veterans through bad policy decisions, burdensome bureaucratic hurdles around the country, and mission creep around the world. It's disgraceful.As your senator, I'll fight to expand and improve health care access for
service members, improve quality of care provided through the Department of Veterans Affairs (V.A.) by securing increased funding, rigorous oversight and necessary reforms, and increased access to mental health services for PTSD, depression, and
reintegration into society.
Honoring our veterans means cutting through the noise and getting things done for the people who put their lives on the line for our country. We must do more to support them.
