Today, @SECWAR reinstated Brigadier General Melissa Cunningham. She was forced to retire after declining the COVID-19 vaccine mandate. We will not stop righting the wrongs of the Biden administration.

I am praying for the people of Panama as they recover from the earthquake yesterday. Thanks to the expanded security cooperation between the Department of War and President @JoseRaulMulino, we immediately shifted military assets to assist Panama with humanitarian relief. The United States will continue to stand with our friends and partners in the Western Hemisphere.
