Military and National Defense
“As a Naval Aviator and graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, I know what it means to fight for this country and I know what it means to believe in something. I know that the most important responsibility that the federal government has is to defend its citizens. A strong military to defend our borders is essential to the strength of the United States of America.” –Ben Loyola
The defense of a nation and its citizens is the most important responsibility a government has. Our troops possess a sacred trust and they put their lives on the line for us. We must support and respect our military. They must continually have access to proper tools for victory and be given adequate compensation and benefits.
As a Virginia State Senator, Ben Loyola will work hand-in-hand with Governor Bob McDonnell to ensure the security and safety of all Virginians. We must maintain vigilance to maintain the safety of our Commonwealth, especially since the heart and soul of the military is based here.
As a 30-year veteran of the Navy, Ben understands the needs of this community better than anyone. As a small business owner who employs veterans, Ben also understands how to assist veterans in the transition to civilian life.
Ben will work tirelessly for those who serve and have served in uniform and afford them the respect they have earned.
