Happy 79th Birthday, U.S. Air Force!

Today we celebrate the founding of the U.S. Air Force and honor everyone who has worn the uniform since 1947 — defending our nation in the air, space, and cyber domains.

I’m proud to represent Travis Air Force Base — the “Gateway to the Pacific” — right here in our district.

To the brave men and women at Travis Air Force Base and in Air Force bases around the world: thank you for your courage, dedication, and sacrifice.

Last week, I hosted a maritime summit where leaders from the military, labor, education, local and federal government, and industry discussed their efforts to revitalize the Bay Area’s maritime industry.

Rebuilding the maritime industry is a national and economic security requirement, and the Bay Area is the epicenter of the American maritime industry’s future. Now, let’s get this done.

I want to thank all of our panelists, including Administrator Stephen Carmel of Maritime Administration - MARAD; Thomas “Jack” Moreau of U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM); Charles Gerard of the Port of Richmond; Rear Admiral Nicholson of the U.S. Navy's Military Sealift Command; Rear Admiral Robert Compher of the U.S. Coast Guard; Assemblywoman Lori D. Wilson; Senator Tim Grayson; Vallejo Mayor Andrea Sorce; Joe Vincenzo of the Seafarers International Union of North America, AFL-CIO; and many more.

I also want to thank President Jeff Armstrong of California State University Maritime Academy - Cal Maritime for having us.
