Again, our hearts go out to the people of France. This is becoming an all too common occurrence in society nowadays. From Dallas, to Orlando, to Brussels, to France and it continues on and on and on. Even striking in our own communities.

We must strengthen our State and strengthen our Nation. Ronald Reagan said "Peace through Strength". Whether it is terrorism or the acts of pure evil, there are no words for these kinds of tragedies.

My family and I are deeply saddened and angered by the latest terrorist attack tonight in Nice, France. Dozens of innocent people were senselessly murdered by what looks to be a lone attacker. We must stand strong to search out these peace and freedom hating terrorists, wherever they may be. I am forever committed to working to ensure the safety of our State and Nation, and to support our forces battling the war on terror.

Please pray for the family members of those injured and killed in these attacks.
