Baucus Statement on End of U.S. Military Mission in Iraq

Statement

Montana's senior U.S. Senator Max Baucus issued the following statement as the United States military officially declared an end to its mission in Iraq:

"While we celebrate this long-awaited homecoming, may we never forget our fallen troops who made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of freedom. Our troops have made America proud and fought valiantly against tyranny in Iraq. It's time they come home to a nation that shows its appreciation by making sure veterans have access to good-paying jobs and the healthcare they have earned. I'm especially proud of all the Montanans who have volunteered for service at greater rates than almost any other state in the country. I also believe it's time to bring troops home from Afghanistan to focus on rebuilding America rather than nation-building overseas."
