“We have worked with the Senator from Louisiana for many hours today on this amendment. There was an article written, and I joke with the Senator from Louisiana. She was the feature of a veterans publication. They had a picture of her with her sleeves rolled up, muscles showing: ``Military Mary.'' Mary Landrieu is someone who looks out for the military. And I call her, joke with her, and ask her: How is ``Military Mary'' doing? She is very proud of this name she has picked up. Tonight is an indication of why she deserves that name. She has been outstanding in her advocacy for American veterans. This agreement we have here tonight indicates she is not only a good advocate for the military but a very fine Senator.”
