“I saw letters of President Roosevelt the other day thanking people for their donations--I think it was of telescopes; I am not sure. It was something which people just put into the war effort, either scrapped or used in some way. This is a special tribute to those of our colleagues, including yourself, who were in World War II. I know you are going to list them. But as this honor roll of heroes is read by the Senator from Virginia, I think we are all going to stand very proud that we have so many Members still in this body who served in World War II and, of course, many who did serve in this body who served in World War II who are also being honored. Senator Dole, of course, is very much in the lead in this effort, but so many others came before us who are currently in this body who served. How many are there who served in this body?”
