Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Kimberly Bigos, a student at Spring Arbor University in my district. Kimberly created the moving piece of artwork displayed to my left. I have had the privilege to see it in person, and the picture doesn't do it justice. It is a life-size wheelchair made out of little toy green Army men, innocent as they might be. She used more than 1,000 Army men and spent more than 60 hours to finish it. The sculpture signifies all the aspects of military service, from fighting on the front lines in battle, to returning home with life- altering injuries, to the supreme sacrifice. America's veterans sacrifice so much and we often lose sight of the effects of their service. Kimberly's sculpture is a powerful reminder about real life for our wounded warriors. These men and women have displayed incredible courage and heroism in service to our country, and now it is time for us to serve them. ____________________”
