Wayne Gilchrest: “I would like to remind the Member what the focus of our attention…”

On the recordNovember 18, 2005

I would like to remind the Member what the focus of our attention should be: David Branning, Dale Burger, Robert Guy, Jason Mileo, Adam Mooney, Bryan Nicholas Spry, William Allers, Samuel Bowen, Jarrett Thompson, Patrick Adle, Neil Prince, and Keith Mariotti. They are the dead, short days ago they lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, and now they lie in Flanders Field, from my district. What are they asking us with a sense of urgency for the living? What are the quick and the dead asking us to do: Know more than they did. Why are our troops successful in harm's way? Because our troops bond together with an integration of integrity bound with trust. Let us debate how to finish the war, not how to continue to fight the war.
