President Obama’s decision to abandon the missile defense shield is a strategic mistake. The missile defense program is directed at dealing with a rogue missile attack from the Middle East, particularly Iran. A rogue missile attack into Europe puts American service men and women, and our European allies, at risk. Scrapping this program makes it easier for extremists in the Middle East to hold portions of the world hostage.

All Americans have heavy hearts on this day as we remember and honor thousands of our fellow citizens who lost their lives in the 9/11 attacks.
Eight years ago today our nation realized how unattended hatred can result in disaster. Since that time our homeland has been free of attack because we have taken the fight against a vicious enemy to all corners of the globe. We have built new defenses, acquired new capabilities, but most of all – we have never lost our will to ensure the September 11th tragedy will never occur again on the American homeland.
