Sen Hagel assured me that he’d be a helpful partner in getting answers about water contamination at Camp Lejeune & supporting Israel

Sen Hagel also shared my concerns about the serious, negative consequences sequestration would have on North Carolina

I appreciate & respect Sen Hagel’s service as enlisted soldier in Vietnam & hope his perspective will aid in supporting NC service members
