“Just over 2 months ago, during the funeral of Corporal Andrew Kemple, a Minnesotan who was killed while fighting for freedom, vile slogans like ``God Hates America'' and ``God Loves IEDs'' were chanted by protesters, and I use that term loosely, with a radical, hateful agenda. Words like ``reprehensible'' and ``disgusting'' simply do not adequately describe the slogans or this stunt on such a solemn occasion. The men and women who have given what Lincoln called ``the last full measure of devotion'' deserve better than this. I urge my colleagues to support the Respect for America's Fallen Heroes Act. Our men and women in uniform never fail us when the Nation calls upon them. We owe them nothing less than the same commitment to duty.”
