On the recordMarch 20, 2007

My father was actually in a submarine in the South Pacific during World War II. Like many of our fathers, mine only recently has begun to really tell us what went on and those experiences as he was fighting for our country back during World War II. I am so appreciative of my colleague and friend, Mrs. McCarthy, for bringing this to our attention. I hope that at some point we can take the same opportunity to honor those who have served in those submarines, not only during World War II, but today. It is a dangerous service and clearly these men love their country and are willing to do what it takes to defend the rights and to keep our country free. Again, I appreciate the gentlewoman from New York in bringing this bill forward and any support that we can bring to it.
