It was an honor to join @SecWar, Senator Darline Graham, and Governor @henrymcmaster in renaming Joint Base Charleston in memory of Lindsey Graham. The names we place on our military installations reflect the service we honor, the character we esteem, and the example we ask future generations to follow. Few Americans embodied those virtues more completely than Lindsey. He served our nation for 33 years in uniform and more than three decades in the United States Senate, always guided by his belief that the first obligation of government is to keep the American people safe. Across both of his callings in life, whether the pull of duty brought him to the Air Force or to Congress, a base in Afghanistan or the floor of the Senate, he devoted himself to the same great purpose. He served a cause greater than self. That is why this base will bear Lindsey's name with pride. And the soldiers who serve beneath it will find in his legacy an example to guide their own. His name will forever stand as a testament to a life devoted to service, sacrifice, and country.
