We can never repay Joshua Rodgers for his sacrifice, but this is a small step towards thanking him for his service to our country. I hope the Senate acts quickly to send my bill to @POTUS so that we can pay tribute to this American hero. @25NewsWEEK https://bit.ly/2QmLncv pic.twitter.com/KWyvI3Sjte
