Our Veterans Accepted The Responsibility To Defend

The Flag Represents All The Values And The Liberties Americans Have And Enjoy Everyday.

Especially Today As We Fight The War On Terror - Against An Enemy That Represents Hatred, Extremism And Stands Behind No Flag - We Need To Remember The Sacrifices That Have Gone Into Protecting Our Flag.

Our First Responsibility Is To Protect The American People And We Cannot Put On Blinders To Expect That Everyone Who Seeks Asylum Does So In Good Faith.

America's Veterans And Troops Serving Abroad Today Fought Hard To Preserve Our Red, White And Blue, From The Revolutionary War To Today's Global War Against Terrorism, And Congress' Action Today Is Appropriate For One Of Our Most Sacred Symbols.

Central And Western Pennsylvania Has One Of The Best Workforces In The Country And This Will Provide Job Training, New Skills And Additional Resources For Those Trying To Find A Job.
