I have had the privilege of knowing General Kelly for many years, and appreciate his more than 40 years of service in uniform, during which time he gave to our country more than can ever be asked of a military officer or citizen. Our nation has benefitted from his honesty and candor, which has been refreshing as it has been valuable to the work our military men and women do each day to keep this country safe. “The United States is confronting an array of challenges around the world, but none more immediate to the people of my home state of Arizona than the security of our southern border. General Kelly has a unique understanding of the challenges facing our southern communities, border personnel, and national and economic security. I hope he will have the opportunity to serve this nation once again.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
