Political Quotes

“a few years ago, I had the honor of coming to the floor of this House to congratulate Cincinnati's Elder High School for winning the Ohio State Division 1 football championship 2 years in a row, quite an accomplishment. Today, I want to recognize and commend Elder High school seniors Matt Brannon and Ben Combs and a group of about a dozen fellow Elder students for doing something every bit as worthy of recognition. These young men, on their own initiative, raised the necessary funds to ship care packages to Elder alumni who are serving our Nation in uniform overseas. In the words of Matt Brannon, ``I want to help people who are risking their lives for us.'' Such patriotism should be an inspiration to us all, and Elder High School can be proud that they are educating and instilling in their students the highest values. Thank you, Elder Panthers. Well done.”
