Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, among the pantheon of great American patriots belongs the name of the late Zachary Fisher. His countless, and I mean countless, acts of kindness towards our military and their families over a long and full life are legendary. He went out and bought a carrier, the Intrepid, for several millions of dollars, and brought it to New York and turned it into a museum that still operates every day to show people the great exploits of our military. Beyond what he has done for the military, his fight against the dread disease of Alzheimer's led him to found the Fisher Center for Alzheimer Research in New York, and when this dread disease is conquered it will be Zach Fisher and the medical team he has assembled, along with David Rockefeller and the president of the center, Mr. Michael Stern, who will deserve an important share of the credit. Zach Fisher lived a long life and he never stopped helping people, caring for people. He had a giant heart, a giant soul that animated one of God's very special people. I grieve his loss but I am so happy that he ever lived and I knew him and he was my friend. As a veteran, I am very proud to have Zachary Fisher declared through this act, legislative act, an honorary veteran. If anyone should be an honorary veteran, Zach Fisher should be.”
