Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time to close. I thank Congresswoman Kaptur for her work to guarantee that the stories and values the World War II Memorial represents continue to circulate throughout the Nation. Madam Speaker and Members, each evening that I am in Washington, D.C. when I leave the Capitol to go home, I pass this memorial, and I think about Marcy Kaptur. I think about the first time that I learned and understood she created this. This was her legislation, and so it absolutely continues her vision, her foresight, and her love for the sacrifices that have been made by so many by establishing this World War II Memorial and everything that it represents. I am so grateful that I am able here this evening to show my support and to thank her for what she has done in creating that memorial. I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting this important piece of legislation. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore.
