Lisa Murkowski said "I, too, rise to pay tribute and honor to our World War II colleagues here in the Senate: Senator Inouye, Senator Akaka, Senator Warner, Senator Hollings, Senator Lautenberg, and, of course, my friend, Senator Stevens. I would like to take a few minutes this afternoon to speak my heartfelt appreciation to my friend, the senior Senator from the State of Alaska, Senator Stevens. I know words alone can never accurately reflect the tenacious spirit of our friend and decorated World War II veteran. Like so many veterans of the war, Senator Stevens downplays his role. He will tell you quite simply he did what was expected. Yet it is something that must be told time and time again to realize how much this one humble servant has done and continues to do, both for the country and for the State of Alaska." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
