Rose spends holidays with soldiers in Kuwait
BAY RIDGE – U.S. Rep. Max Rose, an Army veteran, spent a portion of the holiday season visiting soldiers at a military base in Kuwait as part of an eight-member bipartisan delegation of House members looking to show support for the servicemembers far from home.
Rose, a Democrat representing Bay Ridge, Southwest Brooklyn and Staten Island, is a member of the House Committees on Veterans’ Affairs and Homeland Security.
Rose and his colleagues visited Camp Arifjan, a key military base that supports operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria, during a tour of the Middle East. The lawmakers talked with military service members, received briefings from military leaders and met with diplomatic and economic personnel, according to Rose’s office.
