His unwavering dedication to those who serve our nation with their lives earns the trust and devotion of the armed services. His career began early at william mary. Not many known that he drove the Williamsburg James City School Bus when he was a student and he was assistant troop leader for our local boy scouts and that senator norman was one of his boy scouts as we discovered last night. After graduating from william mary in 1965, he joined the cia as an Intelligence Officer and was the first career officer to scale the agencys ranks to become its director. He served with president s of texas a m university from 20022006. When president bush called him back to washington to serve as secretary of defense. As secretary, he led our armed forces at a time when the country was in the midst of two wars and a global fight against terrorism. In 2009 he accepted president obamas request that he continue to lead in the cabinet, becoming the first secretary of defense to serve under president s
And so today it is important to us. We thank you for the invite. And inviting us out. So, as elaine just mentioned, we come from a background known as the National Protection and programs director. Say that ten times fast. Bonus points if you even knew what that meant. But today with a name like the u. S. Cyber security infrastructure security agency, we have that Value Proposition. We understand before we even walk in the door what the value is that were going to bring to the table. So, the name like that, while we still pass around business cards, while we still create relationships, theres still a recognition today with a name like cisa were here to help both in the Cyber Security mission and also protecting Critical Infrastructure. And that mission has changed over time as well. Today, as we move further and further away from 9 11, and that antiterrorism, post9 11 mission is gravitating towards domestic terrorism. Its gravitating towards nation state actors looking to cause damage

Like many of you i stood alongside my neighbors as we prepared for hurricane dorian. For the most part, florida was spared, but many of you still face this dangerous storm, so stay safe and prepared. I hope those of you who are safe will reach out to those who are not so fortunate, especially those in the bahamas. We are never stronger as americans than when we faced down a crisis like dorian together and help everyone get back on their feet. We must remember the women and men who are the first to respond in dangerous moments. Sincerely, we thank you. Like first responders, no americans are asked to sacrifice more for our safety than those in the armed forces. Thats who i want to talk to you about today. These brave men and women keep us safe and provide a begin of peace, hope, and democracy around the globe. Yet these sons and daughters must endure billions of dollars in unmet military construction needs. Last year the pentagon rated more than 30 of its infrastructure worldwide as wer
