Political Quotes

“Mr. President, I would like to thank you, Chaplain Lundy, for coming all the way from Terre Haute. That is on kind of the west central side of our State, a pretty good trek out here. You heard what the senior Senator from Indiana said. You have had a storied career in the military, but I think having a life led based upon strong faith, there is no substitute for it, serving there with the National Guard. Indiana has the notoriety for having a lot of veterans in our own State, always coming to the call when there is a need, whether it is through the National Guard or through Active Duty. You play such an important role because so often the troops who give the most, who serve, need the help of probably the Almighty more than any of us in that task. Thank you for doing that. Caring for that spiritual well-being, it is hard to imagine how that works in some instances. Again, doing it, you ought to feel good about the career you have made and spent, especially back home in Indiana. We are a State where, I think, faith is the cornerstone of so much of what we do. Our families and our communities all intertwine. Every town, I think, needs that. Every State needs that. Thank you, again, for doing this today, opened the Senate session in prayer, and for what you have done throughout your storied career. Chaplain LUNDY. Thank you.”
