Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I would like to take this time to honor those who were prisoners of war and those who remain missing in action, as well as their families, in observance of National POW/MIA Recognition Day. We are forever indebted to those who sacrificed everything so that we may enjoy the freedoms granted to us by the Constitution. ``You are not forgotten.'' This is a central phrase of National POW/ MIA Recognition Day. It is our job as a nation to stand behind those who are currently serving, those who have served, and those who have never returned from service who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Through international relationships, many of those who have fallen have been returned back to our country and to their families, and we will continue to do the search and return our MIA soldiers. It is our responsibility as a nation to never forget or quit searching for the men and women who paid that ultimate price. We must continue to honor them in the years to come. Honoring First Responder John Lankenau”
