(Ft. Hood, TX) – Representative John Carter (TX-31) released the following statement after Vice President Pence’s visit to Fort Hood in Texas’ 31^st Congressional District.

“It was an honor to welcome Vice President Pence to Fort Hood in Texas’ 31^st District. This Administration has been a great partner in our fight to improve the lives of Soldiers at the Great Place and Central Texas Veterans. I especially appreciate the focus the Vice President has regarding the transition military men and women face as they move into civilian life. Supporting our Soldiers through this big adjustment and setting them up for success through resources like the Soldier for Life program and the Army’s Credentialing Assistance Program is invaluable. I look forward to continuing to work closely with the Administration to better the lives of those who serve our nation, and I thank Vice President Pence for his time and commitment to Ft. Hood.”
