On the recordFebruary 28, 2006
Thank you, Congresswoman Schmidt. It is just a pleasure to hear your words and the very inspiring words. You talk about freedom being infectious. It truly is. But you also talked about freedom not being free, and that the price of freedom, the price of liberty, is eternal vigilance. I am proud to stand with you this evening and continue, continue to try to assist others to appreciate the fact that that eternal vigilance is necessary now, as never before frankly. So we appreciate so much your words this evening and your participation. Mr. Speaker, I am also joined this evening by another fellow freshman, Congresswoman Foxx from North Carolina, just a great, great member of the freshman class, an individual whom I respect highly, who spent a number of years in the education community, understands what it means to impart the importance of our heritage, of American principles and fundamentals. I welcome you this evening and look forward to your words.
