You can't handle the truth

From the office of Mississippi Congressman Steven Palazzo


Today marks the 25th anniversary of the end of the Persian Gulf War. On this day 25 years ago I was on the Saudi Kuwait border with the Marines 3rd Force Recon Company. Just four days earlier the U.S. led a coalition of 34 countries in a massive ground offensive into Kuwait.

Meet Congressman Steven Palazzo
I've always been proud to serve and defend our country, but I never thought I would have to defend it against our very own Commander in Chief. 25 years after fighting and winning a war in the Middle East, I’m co-sponsoring legislation to prevent our president from closing Gitmo and bringing terrorists into our country.

I not only find his decision completely outrageous as an American citizen and as a Congressman, but as a Marine veteran who fought for this country.

I joined Tony Perkins on American Family Radio this week in a discussion about the plan the president put forth. What it comes down to is simple; the president doesn’t have the legal authority to close Gitmo.

If he tried to act on his plan he would be in direct violation of the law. Furthermore, as a member of the Appropriations Committee I can assure you we are not going to fund the closing of Guantanamo Bay.

Congratulations PSU 308

I’d like to congratulate the United States Coast Guard Reserve Port Security Unit (PSU) 308, based in Hancock County, on being selected as the winner of the 2015 Reserve Family Readiness Award. Each year, the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs recognizes the top unit from each of the Armed Forces Reserve Components that have demonstrated outstanding family readiness while upholding mission success.

While deployed overseas from November 2014 through October 2015 to U.S. Southern Command Guantanamo Bay, PSU 308 created several support programs to strengthen the connection between deployed members, their families and their communities.

It’s important to remember that the family members of our servicemen and women make great sacrifices as well. I am extremely proud of the hard work PSU 308 put forth to emphasize the significance of Family Readiness.

Their accomplishments will not only affect unit members and enhance mission readiness during future deployments but will also greatly impact the lives of the family members that remain behind.
Your comments are always welcome and you can contact Congressman Palazzo on facebook, twitter or by visiting his website.
