b'2023 Power In The PinesAir and Space Open HouseIts an honor to welcome youto this years Air & Space Open Houseat Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. I am incredibly grateful to the pilots who are here performing for us, their families, and for you who made it out today to see some of the best and brightest. While youre here I hope you and your family have a wonderful time and are able to take in all the sights and sounds of the Base and, of course, the planes.This Joint Base is so important to our community, not just because of the economics and the small businesses that work on and around the Base, but because of the incredible people that work here everyday. Its my honor to work on behalf of these brave servicemembers and so many people who live and work on and around the Base. When I have the opportunity to come to the Joint Base and speak with leadership and with our servicemembers, I always ask what I can do to make their lives better. The number one thing I hear is about the need for better and more comprehensive healthcare as well as more affordable and accessible childcare options. Thats why I made it my priority to become the top ranking Democrat on the Military Personnel Subcommittee, so I could fight for Military families and make their day-to-day lives better. These families deserve our nations respect and to be given thesupport they need to provide for their families. Im confident thatwe can work together to deliver for our servicemembers and their families in the same way that they do for us.Today is a great day to be outside, to watch these inspiringpeople do incredible things, and Im honored to join Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in welcoming you to this yearsto this years Air & Space Open House. I hope you and your family have an amazing time.
