Political Quotes

“as a Representative of Cleveland, Ohio, I am proud to join with my colleagues from across the country in this well-deserved tribute to Bob Hope for his service to the veterans of our country, to the servicepersons who for generations put themselves on the line to protect America and Bob Hope was there time after time whenever his country called him. And so now his country is prepared to honor him in a very special way by showing its appreciation for the years of work, the years of his own life he put into celebrating the work of our servicemen and women. As a Representative from Cleveland, Ohio, I take great pride in the fact that the first city that Bob Hope moved to, his family moved to, when he came to the United States was the city of Cleveland. The city of Cleveland claims him as one of their favorite sons and has named a major bridge after him and celebrated his whole career during our bicentennial. We recognize that his contribution, though, belongs to the Nation as well as to our community.”
