"The 2015 Defense Appropriations Bill passed the U.S. House Appropriations Committee on Tuesday and is now headed to the House floor. U.S. Rep. Ander Crenshaw, R-Fla., who sits on the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, insisted that the bill will help the First Coast’s military community.
“My No. 1 priority is to provide our servicemen and women with the resources they need to protect our national security on the First Coast and wherever they serve,” Crenshaw said. “That commitment also means ensuring our military and their families receive the benefits and access to the housing and quality-of-life programs they have earned and deserve.
“This bill accomplishes these goals across the board by retaining 11 cruisers (CG) in the Navy fleet and the refueling of the nuclear aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73),” Crenshaw added. “These vessels have many years of service left in them and keeping them operational in the fleet only makes common sense."
