“First let me thank the Chaplain for his prayer today. This is a very important day for millions of Americans. It seems to me that it is time for reflection, to think about America, and to think about 55-plus million people who lost their lives in World War II. That includes civilians, innocent women and children, combatants on all sides, plus about 6 million Jews who suffered death in the Holocaust. This is a very important day. And later today I hope to submit a resolution about V-E Day, which I am certain the Senate will adopt. I will be looking for sponsors on both sides of the aisle.”
