the perception was that navy's better instruments of the empire and autocracy. we don't want any of those admirals in our united states of america. generals represent the militia but the navy vets to suspicious of no admirals the united states navy. they needed somebody to supervise a number of captains they came up with this ranking flag officer but the first person ever to bear the title of admiral in the united states navy is this guy. late in 1862 due to his performance ignorance he was made america's first rear admiral. in 1860 as we know and was elected president and a protest about that led to the secession and at the time captain farragut was living in norfolk virginia not only because then as now norfolk is a good navy time -- town but also because he would marry a norfolk woman. his first wife susan had died 20 years before in 1840. his second wife was a virginian by birth, by resident and she was even named virginia. here's a man born in tennessee raised in louisiana, living in virginia married to a southern woman whose family owned. bryan talked the other day about george thomas and the dilemma he faced as

so, no admirals in the united states navy early on. and they came up with a rank, flag officer. but the first person ever to bear the title, admiral in the united states navy is this guy, late in 1862, in part for his performance at new orleans, he was made america's first rear admiral. in 1860, as we all know, lincoln was elected president and the protests about that led to the susession crisis. and at the time, captain faraget was living in norfolk, virginia, not only because, then as now, it's a good navy town but because he married a norfolk woman. his first wife, susan, died 20 years before. in 1840. and the next wife was even named virginia. so, here's a man born in tennessee, raised in louisiana, living in virginia, married to a southern woman, whose family owned slaves. you know, brian talked the other day about george thomas and the dilemma he faced as a virginian we had stay would the union, the consequences he paid both personally and professionally. here, i think is a moment that reveals a lot about him. when he learned in 1861 that the state of virginia had voted to

navies than our instruments of empire, and autocracy. so, we do not want any of those are morales in our united states of america generals you see represent the people and the militia, but the navy that is too suspicious. so no admiral's in the united states navy. early on in 1862, when they needed somebody to supervise a number of captains, they came up with this rank flag officer, but the first person ever to bear the title admiral in the united states navy is this guy. late in 1862, in part for his performance at new orleans, he was made americans first rear adm.. in 1860, as we all know, lincoln was elected president and the protests about that led to the secession crisis. at the time, captain farragut was living in norfolk virginia. not only because then, as now, it is a good navy town, but also because he had married a woman. his first wife susan had died 20 years before in 1840, his second wife was a virginian by birth, by residents, and she was even named virginia. so here is a man, born in tennessee, raised in louisiana, living in virginia, married to a southern woman whose family owned slaves. you know, talking the other day abo

the bill before us funds acquisition of ships to ensure the united states navy can meet its mission. and weapons systems that will allow our military to meet new and emerging challenges in the coming years. it provides our service members with a 2.7% pay raise. and perhaps most important of all, it includes many provisions designed to provide much-needed oversight of president biden's bungled withdrawal from afghanistan. america deserves answers about decisions that were made, and the resulting failures of leadership that occurred at all levels. thanks to this bill, they can be assured they will get them. our second item is the house amendment to senate bill 610. which addresses the medicare sequestration. while most of the members on both sides of the aisle would agree that a resolution of this problem is necessary, i fear today's bill is a missed opportunity for bipartisanship. rather than pursuing a clean bipartisan deal, we have a bill which includes provisions addressing the debt ceiling and delaying the pay-go cuts from the majority's partisan reconciliation bill earlier this y
