“I rise today in support of House Resolution 1483, recognizing the exemplary service and sacrifice of the soldiers of the 14th Armored Division of the United States Army, known as the Liberators, during World War II. The distinctive designation 'Liberator' is a title well-earned by the brave men of the 14th Armored Division for their valor, heroism, and sacrifice in the Allied invasion of Western Europe and the liberation of prisoners of war, forced laborers, and concentration camps. Crossing over the Danube River in southern Germany through the concentration camps at Dachau, the troops of the 14th Armored Division became witness to evidence of some of the most appalling and brutal atrocities the world has ever seen. The resolve in the face of unspeakable evil is testament to the strength of their conviction in the American ideals of freedom and democracy that eventually led the Allies to victory in 1945.”
