Let’s put everyone back on the job and start focusing on improving our economy, not creating problems for American families’ pocketbooks.” Last week, Senator Donnelly joined 49 other senators from both parties in sending a letter to Secretary Hagel asking him to use the latitude offered to him by the "Pay Our Military Act," which was unanimously passed by Congress and signed by the President, to return members of the National Guard and Reserves back to their critical jobs of protecting our nation and ensure those who serve troops and their family members receive their pay. ### Press Contact Donnelly_Press@Donnelly.Senate.Gov | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
