On Saturday I attended a funeral in my community, a funeral of an outstanding American, one who spent time in Vietnam, who served his country, but then who came back and was a quiet, gentle man. He raised a great family, served as an election judge, was actively involved in helping others. And I simply express condolences to the family of my good friend Carl D. Ashley, who gave his life in the service of others. A great American, great humanitarian.
