CONGRESSMAN ADERHOLT WELCOMES SECRETARY OF THE ARMY TO REDSTONE ARSENAL

WASHINGTON, DC - Congressman Robert Aderholt (R-Haleyville) today welcomed the Secretary of the United States Army, the honorable Pete Geren, to Redstone Arsenal for his first visit to the North Alabama Army base as Secretary. The Secretary’s visit to Redstone Arsenal was at the invitation of Congressman Aderholt for the purpose of briefings on base operations and the realignment process.

Throughout the day, Mr. Geren and Congressman Aderholt took part in a working lunch with Arsenal Commanders, participated in a special coin presentation to Redstone Arsenal employees, and joined Arsenal leadership in Community Outreach. The Secretary also met with leadership of the Redstone's Army Aviation and Missile Command and took part in an aerial tour of the entire military base.

“I’m tremendously honored that the Secretary accepted my invitation to visit Redstone Arsenal so that he could observe the base realignment process firsthand,” said Congressman Aderholt. “I am confident that the Secretary was pleased with the facilities and the professional workforce that make Redstone Arsenal a great United States military installation.

“I believe that continuing funding for Redstone Arsenal and the next generation of missile defense, such as the Kinetic Energy Interceptor program, is absolutely crucial to our national defense and I remain committed to providing the necessary support to Secretary Geren so that he can provide the best defense service to our nation.”

Congressman Aderholt, who will be Alabama's second longest serving House member when Rep. Everett and Rep. Cramer retire in January, has helped secure millions of dollars in funding for missile defense and Redstone Arsenal since being elected in 1996. The Redstone Arsenal Army Base sits on the Northern border of the District that Congressman Aderholt represents and hundreds of Aderholt’s constituents work and commute to the Arsenal everyday.

Over the last decade, Rep. Aderholt has worked very closely with Senator Shelby and Senator Sessions on securing the needed funds for Military base infrastructure as a member of the Subcommittee on Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies.
