Tom Carper: “Thanks for making the extra effort to join us.”

I am the last Vietnam Veteran serving in the U.S. Senate, and kind of relates to my great affection and interest in the postal issues.

For too long, the seats have not been filled, and not been filled properly.

To have vacancies that may be not just months, but in some cases years to that have been filled, that justice delayed is justice denied.

We will do it again. Maybe the next time we will actually make it to Columbia.
