Mitch Landrieu: “this resolution is to honor--I am not sure words can actually do appropriate justice--a great American who passed away…”

“this resolution is to honor--I am not sure words can actually do appropriate justice--a great American who passed away this last weekend. That American is Stephen Ambrose, the author of a number of books, a man who helped our Nation understand the dynamics of war, the spectacular strengths of the American infantry men and women in uniform. He passed away quite a young man in his midsixties. He was a professor of history, known by many of us personally, and was a personal friend of the Senator from Alaska. I submit for the Record this resolution, to have it appear in the Congressional Record to honor a great American, someone Louisiana has lost and the Nation has lost. I am not sure we can ever replace him.”
