Former U.S. Representative Chris Gibson and U.S. Representative Seth Moulton sat on different sides of the aisle during their time together serving in Congress.

But something they consider more fundamental than party politics unites them: their military service in overseas combat deployments.

“We killed one important ISIS figurehead, but it’s a very decentralized organization with plenty more fighters on the ground in Syria, in Iraq and in the pipeline,” U.S. Rep.
