“We are very glad to have the gentleman here. Mr. Speaker, as we go along, you have seen one great new Member from New York's 19th District, but then there is also a new Member who comes from the Big First out in Kansas. He is a doctor. He has been married for 32 years and has four children. I think the coolest thing about this is we talk about a culture of life. For me, it is not just a life issue of getting up every day. I believe that you take every day as a gift that has been given to you, and you grasp and you take that joy. But life has to start. For a doctor who delivers 5,000 babies, it is pretty cool to see that life, as a husband who has been there. He has talked about his greatest role as a husband and father. That is mine and, I think, Mr. Speaker, as most, as we look at this. Seeing my kids come in was a special time. To know what that means in the life of a family, Dr. Marshall brings that personal touch to the House. He brings that personal touch from the Midwest. Mr. Speaker, you do know I am in the Air Force Reserve. Mr. Speaker understands that very well. Also, I will say that he served as well in our once-parent operation, the Army Reserve. It is good to have him here. That military background also gives us a new perspective because our world is not a safe place, and we need to understand what we are going through. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from the Big First, the First District of Kansas, Dr. Roger Marshall.”
