“Jack Murtha was a great man, and he, indeed, left indelible footprints. He left footprints on his beloved district in Pennsylvania with all of the projects and all of the things that he did for his constituents there over the 36 years of service he gave. He left footprints on the Department of Defense and on the men and women who served in our military and their families with all of the care and the concern that he put into making sure that they had everything that was needed to carry out their missions and that they got what they needed when they returned home. He left a footprint on this institution with the leadership and the example that he set for all of us as a bipartisan collegial representative. Jack Murtha made and left indelible footprints on the United States of America.”
