Preparing for climate change has to be a national priority backed by tens of billions in federal investment. Lives are on the line.

We give speeches and pin ribbons onto uniforms, etch names into walls. And all that is fine, but too often, all those tributes, all those words aren’t always backed up by action. And that felt like such a stark contrast to me, because, as we all know, our military is all about action.
