Congress must approve defense funding to support welfare of our troops

Phoenix reader particularly interested in ED-2 Advance Hawkeye aircraft

OPINION — I think we all stand together in thanking our veterans and those who serve. These men and women keep us safe and defend our country on a daily basis. Their sacrifice is hard to fathom. 

I also understand that Congress will soon be considering the defense spending bill. There are many parts of this bill that directly affect the safety of our troops abroad. They deserve to have the programs and technology that keep them as safe as possible.

One I recently read about is the Advanced Hawkeye, also known as the E2-D. This is the plane we have seen with the big disk on top that tracks targets and protects our aircraft carriers from incoming drones.
