SEN. SALAZAR' STATEMENT ON BRAC RECOMMENDATIONS

 

Washington, D.C. – United States Senator Ken Salazar released the following statement on the Department of Defense’s BRAC recommendations. BRAC’s recommendations added over 4,000 military personnel to Colorado.

“Since before World War II, Colorado has been a major hub of our Nation’s military defense, housing installations with unique and complex capabilities – it is no surprise that the DOD would bolster military personnel here.

I appreciate that the DOD understands the importance of Colorado to our national security. I will continue to fight to ensure our new and existing troops and their families receive the support they need to maintain the quality of life they deserve.”
