On the recordMarch 19, 2020
much has been said on the Senate floor these past few days regarding our Nation's response to the coronavirus. But this morning, after our prayer to the Lord and after the pledge to our Nation's flag, I want to take this opportunity to send Iowans' and our Nation's parents my commendation because schools are closing, and as these schools close, the work of a parent or grandparent is more important than ever. I know many children are scared or don't understand why they can't play with their friends, and this puts an extra burden on their parents on top of all of the other challenges that these families have. Those of you who are parents are raising America's future, and I want to recognize the importance of what you do every day. I yield the floor. ____________________
