“Mr. President, Johnny Isakson will be a legend in the Senate. His life is marked with such tremendous service. From his time in the Georgia Air National Guard to his service in the Georgia house and senate, and on to the U.S. House and the Senate, Johnny has been making his home State proud every single step of the way. As a fellow veteran, I can't tell you how much I especially appreciate Senator Isakson's relentless and dedicated focus on veterans' issues. As chairman of the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee, he has worked tirelessly to put our veterans first. One of the most important pieces of legislation we worked on together was the VA MISSION Act. Veterans in Iowa and in Georgia are oftentimes living in rural areas or are simply homebound.

Folks, the MISSION Act is truly landmark legislation that is making a difference in the lives of countless veterans across our Nation. It would not have been possible without the hard work and the diligent efforts of our colleague Senator Johnny Isakson. He understands the importance of building relationships and working across the aisle, putting our veterans ahead of politics, and getting his job done.…”
