Political Quotes

“It is with a heavy heart that I rise today to honor the life and memory of an American patriot from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, who passed away on June 5 at the age of 96. Pete Rossetti, a resident of Southampton, lived a life in service to our country and our community. Born in Philadelphia, Pete served honorably in the United States Navy during World War II. He earned the American Theater, European Theater Combat Medal and was also a Purple Heart recipient. In January, Pete was awarded the French Legion of Honor Medal, the highest French military distinction, for his service. Pete served in several campaigns during the war, including the invasion of Sicily, Salerno, Angelo, and Normandy. A graduate of Temple University, Pete earned a degree in business administration from Temple University, and he later worked as an employee benefit consultant. Mr. Speaker, I send my deepest condolences to Pete's children--Donna, Sandra, Carla, Joseph, and Mary Ellen--along with the entire Rossetti family. May they take comfort that he is now reunited with Annette and enjoying his eternal reward. ____________________”
