This past week, I traveled to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library for the annual Reagan National Defense Forum one of the most important gatherings of national security leaders each year. The event brings together Members of Congress, military commanders, defense experts, and technology innovators to take a hard look at the threats facing our country and how we can keep Americans safe.
While these conversations may take place more than 1,000 miles from Nebraska, the issues we discuss directly affect families here at home.
Our state has a proud tradition of military service, and Offutt Air Force Base remains home to U.S. Strategic Command and the 55th Wing.When we talk about defending the homeland, Nebraskans are on the front lines of that mission.
