Happy 79th Birthday to the U.S. Air Force! Added as a new branch of our military in 1947, it stands to this day as the strongest aerial defense in the world. Thank you to all who have and continue to serve our Air Force, keeping our skies clear and our nation safe.

On National POW/MIA Recognition Day, we honor every American taken prisoner of war or still missing in action. Their courage did not end on the battlefield, neither does our duty. To those who never came home, and to the families who still wait: you are not forgotten.

[Senator Andrew Lanza @senatorlanza]

Today marks the 239th anniversary of the signing of The United States Constitution. It is the supreme law of the land. It remains the greatest charter of liberty ever written, and the reason our rights do not come from government. Our rights limit government.

25 years ago today, a terror attack left an entire nation in shock and mourning. Staten Island did not watch from a distance. We lost family, friends, neighbors, civilians, and hero first responders who never came home.

[Senator Andrew Lanza @senatorlanza]

We honor those lost by speaking their names, by caring for the living who still carry the illness and the absence, and by refusing to let this day become only a date on a calendar.

[Senator Andrew Lanza @senatorlanza]
