Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, Daniel J. Mabin, World War II veteran, Korean War-era veteran, passed away this afternoon in Pennsylvania. Dan was a father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and he was the loving husband of his wife, Sheelagh. He was preceded in death by his beloved son Sean. Dan was a member of what has been called ``the Greatest Generation any society has ever produced,'' and he certainly earned that distinction by defending this country through two conflicts. Sheelagh was his English war bride, whom he brought to America and settled in Levittown, Pennsylvania. When he left the service, Dan worked hard to support his growing family, often working several jobs. Dan was someone who loved his country and cared deeply about its future. During his life, he served his community and worked to better the lives of those around him. He imparted these values to his children, who have gone on to contribute greatly to their communities as well. I had the honor and the pleasure of knowing Dan. He's left a lasting impression on those he touched. May his soul rest in peace. ____________________”
