“Mr. President, I add my congratulations to Senator Chambliss. It is strange, coming here in the last 2 years and getting to serve only 2 years with giants in the Senate like Saxby, like Tom Harkin, and like Senator Rockefeller, whose legacies will live on. Knowing what a good soul Senator Chambliss is, I bet he would enjoy the Newtown Labor Day parade. I have a picture of it here. We had the 53rd annual Newtown Labor Day parade this last year. This is the biggest event that happens in Connecticut on Labor Day. It is a celebration of the town. There are 120 different groups that make up the parade. There is the Newtown High School marching band. This year Grand Marshall Sydney Eddison was proudly marching at the front. The Litchfield Hills Pipe Band and newer groups such as the Marching Cobras of New York were there this year. It is a must-stop if you are a Senator, Governor, or Congressperson. We all march together at the front of the parade regardless of party. It is a really fantastic and wonderful place. This year there were marchers from the Avielle Foundation; a truck decorated in pink promoting a culture of kindness. Sandy Hook Elementary School had a float called ``The Magic School Bus to Sandy Hook School.'' It had a positive message of ``Think You Can, Work Hard, Get Smart, Be Kind,'' and the judges selected Sandy Hook School's float as the winner in the best school category.…”
