I recently introduced a Senate Resolution honoring the commitment and dedication of military recruiters. The resolution commends the men and women of our Armed Forces for their contribution to America and the global war on terrorism.

Military recruiters deserve the gratitude and appreciation of the Senate for their selfless service in protecting our nation. Military recruiters are an essential element of the Department of Defense and play a key role in recruiting the highest quality soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines in these defining moments for our nation.

Military recruiters have provided the nation with more than 200,000 new active duty, reserve, officer and enlisted additions into the Armed Forces in the past year. Military recruiters work with families, schools, business professionals and numerous civic organizations. The Senate Resolution reaffirms the Senate’s commitment to support all aspects of recruiting for the Armed Forces.

The Armed Forces are successfully adapting to a fast-paced modern battlefield thanks to these great military recruiters. Military recruiters are bringing the best and brightest individuals into our Armed Forces as America attacks terrorism, supports democracy and secures our borders, today and into the future.
