Following her meeting with Lt. General Walker, Ivey issued the following statement:

“Alabama is home to thousands of active duty members, reservists and some 400,000 veterans that play a vital role in preserving our country’s freedom and safety. As governor, it is a major priority of mine to do everything in my power to ensure Alabama remains one of the most military friendly states in America. We should honor our military men and women today and every day, because it is thanks to their sacrifice that we live in the greatest country on Earth.”
