President Trump signed an executive order to build an "Iron Dome for America," modeled on Israel’s missile defense system.

Veterans on Duty chairman Jeremy Hunt discusses why he supports the dome's construction for national security purposes, how the possible missile defense system would work and how the DOD is restoring military readiness.
