Gov. Whitmer Celebrates Signing of National Defense Authorization Act, Putting Michigan's Service Members and Veterans First

Statement

Governor Gretchen Whitmer celebrated yesterday's signing of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2022 into law by President Joe Biden, which will directly support Michigan's defense sector economy and support our state's service members, veterans, and their families.

"Our country has long counted on Michigan to support our national defense, both through the dedicated service of the countless men and women serving in our armed forces and the innovative work being done through our well-established military and defense industries," said Governor Gretchen Whitmer. "The national defense bill signed into law by President Biden helps us put Michiganders first by providing for $144 million in military construction projects, increasing military pay and ensuring access to resources for transitioning service members, their families and the nearly 600,000 veterans that call Michigan home."
