We recognize that the freedoms All Americans enjoy come with a great price. We support all our troops; whether they are stationed abroad or here at home.

North Carolina is strategic to the defense of our country, not only because of the sacrifices made in military service, but also because we are home to some of the largest and most important military bases in the world.

The Brunswick County Democratic Party honors our men and women in uniform and in doing so, we believe that their unselfish service deserves nothing less than our continued commitment to bring them home safe as soon as possible.

We recognize that we can demonstrate our support by electing strong and capable leadership, uncompromised in their means and motives.

We support our state and national Democrats' efforts to ensure Veterans' healthcare and benefits are protected.

We encourage the return of our North Carolina National Guardsmen to their traditional roles and we stand with our Democrats in Congress to hold the current administration accountable for their decisions leading to the ongoing war in Iraq.
