Mr. Speaker, I rise today in vigorous support for the 2027 Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act. This bill delivers for Indiana servicemembers, our veterans, military families, and our taxpayers. This includes $27.5 million for a new aviation maintenance hangar and operations building at our Shelbyville Army Aviation Support Facility. This investment matters. It gives 900 Indiana guardsmen assigned to our 38th Combat Aviation Brigade the modern facilities they need to support rapid homeland deployment, strengthen readiness, and improve recruitment and retention.

Mr. Chair, I rise in strong support of fiscal year 2027 National Security and Department of State Appropriations Act. This legislation candidly and simply delivers on conservative promises, helps put America first while conducting vigorous oversight of our foreign assistance programs. It upholds longstanding pro-life protections, and holds foreign governments that violate religious freedoms are held accountable.
