A dozen House Democrats who are veterans announced support for a war powers resolution in the wake of recent U.S. strikes against Iran.

“We write firstmost as Patriots who love our country. Each and every one of us wore the uniform with pride. Each and every one of us was ready and willing to lay down our lives to protect our fellow Americans, and to support and defend our Constitution,” a Monday letter from the group of Democrats reads.

“With that in mind, we want to thank our troops for their bravery, from the B-2 pilots to those stationed across the USCENTCOM Area of Responsibility. We also write as Veterans.”

The letter, addressed to President Trump, features the signatures of Democratic Reps. Pat Ryan (N.Y.), Gil Cisneros (Calif.), Eugene Vindman (Va.), Chris Deluzio (Pa.), Bobby Scott (Va.), Jimmy Panetta (Calif.), Derek Tran (Calif.), Herb Conaway (N.J.), Chrissy Houlahan (Pa.), Maggie Goodlander (N.H.), Salud Carbajal (Calif.) and Ted Lieu (Calif.).

President Trump announced Saturday that the United States had bombed three Iranian nuclear sites, stepping into the conflict between Iran and Israel that began earlier this month.
