“I commend my dear friend from Nebraska for his remarks celebrating the 226th anniversary of the Army. I am glad I was present on the floor to hear the annual ``Hooah'' from a wonderful former sergeant who served with great distinction during the Vietnam conflict. He is a wonderful Member of this body and a great friend to the veterans of America. I served in the Army. I was a weekend warrior. I defended the shores of Connecticut from outside aggression over the years. But, I am deeply proud to have worn the uniform of the Army while rising to the rank of E4. I am even more proud of my friend for his wonderful service and for what he has done in public life after his service. I join him in wishing happy birthday to our friends in the U.S. Army.”
