CVA strongly cautions against possible deployment of U.S. troops to seize control over Kharg Island or any Iranian territory. The United States should work to end the war with Iran, not double down on a conflict that large majorities of the American people oppose.

As veteran representation in Congress declines, so does the firsthand experience of those who’ve answered the nation’s call to serve.
@PatHarriganNC on why America needs more veteran voices in Washington.

What is the difference between community care and the Veterans’ ACCESS Act?
One expands health care choices for those who rely on the VA, the other requires the VA to offer these options at ease to the patient, as @SenJonHusted explains.

82 years ago, Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy and descended from the skies to break Hitler’s grip on Europe.
Some were just 17 years old, yet they fought with courage, grit, and resolve.
May their sacrifice and legacy continue to inspire today’s soldiers.

Personal courage is one of the U.S. Army’s core values: facing fear, danger, and adversity, both physical or moral.
On D-Day, America’s airborne units lived that value before they ever hit the ground.

Soldiers of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions jumped into darkness over Nazi-occupied France, scattered behind enemy lines, often far from their units and commanders.
They pressed on anyway, seizing bridges, disrupting enemy movements, and helping clear the way.

That is personal courage: doing the mission when fear is real, the odds are uncertain, and the cost could be everything.
The legacy of WWII airborne soldiers still lives on in today’s Army and in every soldier who chooses courage over comfort.

Fun fact: D-Day was the largest amphibious invasion in history.
When you hear D-Day, you often think of the soldiers arriving on boats, but the Navy played a large role in transporting the Army’s assets and personnel in the first place. 🧵

Integrity is about doing what’s right, no matter what the circumstance is. It’s an Army value and a standard across the U.S. military. The Navy kept its word, but it cost 24 people their lives as the USS Corry was sunk to the depths after German artillery shelling.

Integrity isn’t always convenient; it can even lead to death. But that sacrifice was for the good of the nation and ensuring that freedom can be enjoyed here at home.

Yesterday's vote on Iran was an important step in the right direction. Congress should apply that same level of restraint and focus on American interests to every foreign engagement.

On June 5, 1944, one day before the invasion of Normandy, then-Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, met with some of the brave paratroopers of the 101st Airborne before they departed on their mission. 🧵

Eisenhower’s four silver stars meant nothing without the soldiers beneath them. Every single one. From generals to privates, he treated them with respect because he knew victory was carried by their courage, sacrifice, and honor.

The Army Values are more than words; they are the foundation of every great Soldier. Winning battles takes skill, but winning wars takes trust, loyalty, and selfless service. Those principles have made the U.S. military a force others admire and aspire to emulate.
