Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor an exceptional North Carolinian and American hero, Mr. James Lyle Bullock, who recently celebrated his 100th birthday. A U.S. Navy veteran, Mr. Bullock served our Nation with honor during World War II in the Pacific theater. As both a cook and a gunner, he played a crucial role in defending the freedoms we cherish. Last weekend, I had the privilege to attend Mr. Bullock's 100th birthday celebration and present him with a flag flown over the Capitol in his honor. While there is nothing we can do to adequately thank Mr. Bullock for his years of service, this is a small token of gratitude for his bravery and sacrifice, and it was so much fun meeting his entire family. As we celebrate his remarkable life, let's recommit ourselves to ensuring that every veteran has access to the exceptional resources and care they deserve. Mr. Speaker, I wish Mr. Bullock a happy 100th birthday. ____________________”
