One year ago today, Iran launched 300 missiles and drones at Israel. Our aviators risked everything to stop it. These heroes will never know how many innocent lives they saved that night. Hear the story from those who lived it. Damn proud of these patriots!

Our people are our strength. Today I saw our servicemembers in action- from manning our F-35 squadron, to ensuring we can communicate during wartime, to providing novel medical care for our warfighters. @48fighterwing demonstrates why βTaking Care of our Peopleβ is so critical to ensuring US national security.
