It is such a heartfelt relief to see the remaining surviving hostages finally coming home to their families.  They have endured a nightmare in Hamas captivity during these past two years, and I applaud the Trump Administration’s work to bring them home.

For 250 years, the U.S. Navy has stood watch over the seas—defending freedom, ensuring peace, and projecting strength around the world. Maine has been a key part of this history, building and repairing the most powerful fleet in the world. Thank you to the men and women who serve
