Congressman Max Rose, a member of the House Committees on Veterans' Affairs and Homeland Security, left Camp Arifjan, a key military base that supports operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria, earlier today after spending the day with American servicemembers who are serving in Kuwait. Rose is traveling with a bipartisan delegation of eight Members of Congress who are visiting troops in the Middle East to thank them for their service, receive classified briefing from military leaders, and meeting with diplomatic and economic personnel in the region. For so many soldiers on their 5th, 6th or even 10th deployment, missing the holidays is the new normal, but it's never easy for them or their family, said Rose, an Army combat veteran. I'm honored to be able to join some brave men and women serving abroad this Christmas and Hanukkah to thank them for the sacrifices they're making for our country. We still have soldiers all over the world serving and putting their lives on the line, and families celebrating the holidays without their loved ones. Let's keep them, and especially those of Sgt. 1st Class Michael Goble who was killed in Afghanistan this week, in our prayers. Also on the trip with Rose are: Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI), House Committee on Foreign Affairs Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY), House Committee on Foreign Affairs Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), House Committee on Foreign Affairs Rep. Susan Wild (D-PA), House Committee on Foreign Affairs Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN), House Committee on Foreign Affairs Rep. Gil Cisneros (D-CA), House Committee on Armed Services Rep. Aumua Amata Radewagon (R-AS), House Committee on Veterans' Affairs The delegation departed Andrews Air Force Base Sunday morning. While in Kuwait, they met with staff at the American embassy and received briefings on American foreign policy in the country. They will spend the next few days visiting additional countries in the region. The locations of those visits are being withheld for security purposes. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
