Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Sergeant Jim Smith, who died tragically in the line of duty this past Friday night in Iowa. Sergeant Smith honorably served as an Iowa State trooper for 27 years. He was an incredible man who loved his family, his State, God, his fellow troopers, and his community in Independence, Iowa. My heart goes out to his wife, Kathy, and their two children. I hope that the family can find some comfort in knowing that he died a hero protecting his community, as he did every day for well over two decades. Sergeant Smith and his service and sacrifice for Iowans will never be forgotten. ____________________”
