“I enjoyed very much hearing the Senator from Ohio, Senator Glenn, who is a stalwart member of the Armed Services Committee and has been a stalwart defender of the United States his entire life, either as a member of the Marine Corps or in the space program or in his splendid service here in the U.S. Senate. I heard him talk about Iwo Jima. All of us, I believe, are the beneficiaries of that reminder of the heroism that took place on Iwo Jima. And I might add that no one is better qualified to speak of heroism and patriotism and dedication than the Senator from Ohio, Senator Glenn, his plane having been shot five times when he was flying in the Marshall Islands, and I believe seven times his plane was shot when he was in Korea fighting for our country. So I thank the Senator from Ohio for that beautiful tribute to those who were so brave and gave so much of themselves for their country on Iwo Jima and other places in the Pacific.”
