I’ve lifted off into darkness not knowing what waited on the other side.
The quiet understanding that some missions change lives forever.

Real deterrence doesn’t require permanent deployment.
Real leadership understands timing.
That’s why I trust our Commander-in-Chief, and today, he delivered, again.
