Political Quotes

“My first amendment would call for the POW/MIA flag to be flown in all Departments of Veterans Affairs medical centers. This flag, as my colleagues know, serves as a reminder. We have yet to receive a full accounting of our all of our Nation's prisoner-of-war and missing-in-action soldiers. There are currently 2,123 Americans still unaccounted for from the Vietnam War. The flag also represents our commitment to obtaining that full accounting of the whereabouts of our missing soldiers. I believe that we owe it not only to them but to our veterans who did return home safely, to reaffirm that commitment. The POW/MIA flag already flies above the VA Medical Center in Coatesville, PA. I believe that it has a positive impact on the veterans who are treated there. I am proud to fly the flag outside my own office here on Capitol Hill.”
