“on behalf of an admiring Senate, I extend happy birthday and best wishes to our great Senator, the favorite son of South Carolina, Strom Thurmond. What a career he has had and what an example he sets for all of us: A soldier, a patriot, a teacher, a political leader, a man of good will, and a gentle man. We appreciate his presence every day and hope he has a very happy day today and many more to come.”
