“As Americans, we gather at cemeteries and memorials worldwide to honor the courage, sacrifice, and legacy of the men and women who served and are now in their final resting place. With the approach of Memorial Day, the U.S. Senate has the responsibility to honor the servicemembers who died in service to our Nation. And we can, in part, do so by confirming a qualified leader as the Under Secretary of Memorial Affairs, CPT Sam Brown. Those laying of our veterans to rest with honor, serving their families with dignity--it is not a Republican or a Democratic issue--and our committee has worked side by side over a long period of time in that manner. I am discouraged that we cannot work in that manner today to confirm this qualified and capable leader for the National Cemetery Administration. It is incumbent upon us to confirm a nominee to lead the NCA and to lead it well. I believe CPT Sam Brown would do just that.”
