We passed the National Defense Authorization act. This is the authorization bill to keep our military operating in the next fiscal year. And I'm proud to report again that It's including my historic pay raise for our junior enlisted folks. This is a 15% pay raise in this case, for e one s through e four s. This is making sure that we get our troops above the poverty line and off of food stamps. (00:26–00:32)
