In 2016, Congressman Seth Moulton (D-MA) established the Peter J. Gomes Service Award, to be given annually to the individual in the Sixth District who best epitomizes the qualities of integrity, compassion, and commitment to community that were the foundation of the late Reverend Professor Peter J. Gomes’ teachings.
Reverend Gomes was Seth’s mentor and friend. One of his core teachings is embodied by this quote from his writing:
SALEM, Mass. — Following the announcement by the commander of U.S. Central Command that the United States will be reducing troops in Iraq from 5,200 to 3,000 by the end of September, Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) issued the following statement:
No one wants to bring U.S. troops home more than veterans who have experienced the true cost of war, but we need to make sure they can come home for good. Our troops in Iraq are not twiddling their thumbs; they work hard every day to prevent a second rise of ISIS and prepare Iraqi forces to take over.
The Trump administration will cut the number of U.S. troops in Iraq to about 3,000 this month, a top military commander said in the country on Wednesday, a reduction from about 5,200 there now.
The move is part of President Trump’s effort to reduce the American military footprint in Iraq and Afghanistan before Election Day on Nov. 3, officials have said. The top U.S. commander in the Middle East, Gen. Frank McKenzie, said improvements in Iraq’s security forces allowed the U.S. to downsize.
Prominent veterans Friday called out President Trump’s “contempt” for the military, as Trump denied reports that he has repeatedly disparaged service members captured or killed in action.
The reports say Trump canceled a visit to a French cemetery for American servicemen killed in World War I, describing the graveyard as “filled with losers,” and complained after Senator John McCain’s death that flags had been lowered for the “loser” who spent five years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam.
