Political Quotes

“Today, I recognize Evan Michael Holmes from Troop 95 in Upper Township on the attainment of his Eagle Scout rank. Eagle Scout is the highest rank obtainable from the Boy Scouts of America, and only 4 percent of all boys ever achieve this prestigious recognition. Eagle Scouts are more likely to dedicate their life to service, and his service is very special. He is planning to join the Navy in February 2020. I was proud of Evan's beautiful Court of Honor that was celebrated earlier this month, and I congratulate Evan. Mr. Speaker, we are proud of Evan and look forward to big things in the future from him. Some of us look for heroes in celebrities--God help us. Some look for heroes here in Washington--equally, God help us. But my heroes are individuals, young men like Evan, who do more, who work harder, and who know what it is to be a true American and a good person, who really care for and love their families and the people around them. Mr. Speaker, I wish Evan the very best, and may God bless him. ____________________”
