Congressman Mike Rogers made the following statement after being honored during The U.S./Israeli Security Alliance Congressional Tribute. The award was recognizing legislative efforts to authorize and fund Israel’s defense systems including Iron Dome, David’s Sling and Arrow Defense Systems.
“Israel is one of our greatest allies. As a Christian, I will always support Israel, but as a Member of Congress and Chairman of the Strategic Forces subcommittee, I actually have privilege of working for what is in America’s and Israel’s best interest. I am proud to have received this recognition, but must say it is truly an honor to have the opportunity to work together to help defend one of our strongest allies.”
Rogers was one of 12 Members of Congress recognized at the event.
