Political Quotes

“I also stand with the Senator from Texas, the Senator from Arkansas, the Senator from Nebraska--really, all the Senators--to take this opportunity to share our feelings about the support we have for our troops while they are engaged in this difficult battle in Iraq. While our Nation fights the war on terrorism, taking on even more demanding and dangerous tasks, and is now actually headed into heated battle in the Arabian Peninsula, it is important that we remember just how important the United States military is to preserving and protecting our national security.

On a sad note, I would like to share with my colleagues my heartfelt sadness over the death of Air National Guardsman Major Gregory Stone, from Idaho, who was killed on March 23.”
