For 10 years, the United States has fought two wars, resulting in thousands of needless deaths and costing the United States trillions of dollars. It is time to bring these long wars to a close.

While our sons and daughters are deployed overseas, Louise has fought to make sure they receive the best protection. Because of her efforts, the Army has reformed their practice of outsourcing body armor inspection, and made sure that troops have the best protection in combat.
She has also continued to make veteran's care one of her top priorities, working with the VA and other health agencies to make sure troops receive the best medical care available when they return home.
