The best thing I ever did was give my family everything I could.

I can't spend a lot of time worrying about the numbers at home. I've got to focus on the mission.

Protecting Afghan civilians is the cornerstone of our mission.

With Hillary Clinton as our commander in chief, our international relations will not be reduced to a business transaction. I also know that our armed forces will not become an instrument of torture and they will not be engaged in murder or carry out other illegal activities.

It's not possible to put into words the sense of loss and grief that comes to a family that loses one of their children.

What we do have to do, is listen to what Donald Trump's been saying about our military. He's called it a disaster. He says our military can't win anymore. That's a direct insult to every single man and woman who's wearing the uniform today.

I seek as much as I can to mitigate risk.
